Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2243647/fan_mail/new] In this episode we are joined by John Gavin & Bagi Sponsored By:  Zenzio AI https://www.zenzio.com Summer's the busiest stretch in the car business — and the easiest one to blow if you're not working smart. Bagi and John Gavin break down what actually moves the needle when the lot heats up: hunting deals in the service drive, ditching the old-school games for real transparency, and being ready for today's customer who already knows the invoice, the incentives, and what their trade is worth before they ever shake your hand.

True Confessions of a Car Guy: On The Road

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2243647/fan_mail/new]  On The Road takes True Confessions out of the studio and onto the floor. John Gavin and Richard Luciano visit working dealerships in real time — showrooms, used car lots, the desk — to see how business is actually flowing. Bagi produces from the ground as it happens. You hear the deals, the pace, the read on whether the store is hot or dead, straight from the people living it. Raw, unfiltered, the way the car business really runs. For dealers, hustlers and lifers.
