What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been looking for a podcast such as this, real technicians have real conversations about repair and the industry as a whole. I’ve been a for almost 30 years. Thanks you Jeff and your guests discussing the plus and minus’s of tech life.

Rolando Roman · Apr 2025

As a dealership tech, I am loving these podcasts! It’s an eye opener for sure to hear what goes on outside the dealership. It definitely makes my commute to work more enjoyable.

nistech2720 · Jun 2023

Love the content and deductions. Being a dealer tech for 16 years between Mack and Peterbilt the industry has changed and needs another change but for the better. Just hope this all gets out there and shop/ dealer owners can listen and make the moves

Kyle the Peterbilt tech · Jul 2025

This podcast is fantastic. We need more content just like it. Great thought provoking conversations and actual positive information on the automotive industry. Not that negative crap you see out there with people whining and complaining about everything.
