Most shop owners don't think about marketing when things are going great, but wait until the car count drops or the phones go quiet. That's when the panic hits, and all eyes turn to marketing. But what if your shop's struggles aren't about marketing at all?In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Burkholder from Body Shop Marketing to explore a lesser-known aspect of the collision industry. Daniel's been in this world since he was a kid, growing up in the family's body shop, and now he's on the frontlines helping collision shop owners navigate a changing landscape.We talk about what a Direct Repair Program (DRP) is, how it affects a shop's autonomy, and why relying on insurance companies for car count is a dangerous game. You'll hear how customer behavior is shifting even with DRPs in play and how shops that aren't actively marketing are gambling with their future.This episode is loaded with insights about the customer journey in the collision space, the rising importance of Google search, the power of reputation, and why the best time to market is when you don't need the work. Whether you're all mechanical or have a toe in the collision side, this is a conversation worth tuning into. This episode is sponsored by Shop Boss.

In this value-packed episode, Micki Woods sits down with Kena Dacus, co-owner of Dacus Auto Body & Collision Repair, to uncover real-world strategies for shop owners who are ready to grow smarter, not harder in the collision repair industry.Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Insurance Headaches: Why getting paid for proper repairs (like safety inspections) feels impossible, and how Kena's team manages the pushback. ✅ Towing Business Truths: The real cost of adding towing services, the risks you need to know, and why it's a completely different business model from collision repair. ✅ The 4-Day Work Week Experiment: How moving to a 4-day production schedule improved efficiency, reduced burnout, and became a game-changing recruiting tool for Kena's shop. ✅ Why Industry Involvement is Non-Negotiable: Kena shares how getting involved in industry groups, trade shows, and learning from other shop owners unlocked massive growth—and why you can't afford to stay on the sidelines.If you're an independent shop owner feeling the pressure of insurer challenges, consolidation, and keeping your team happy while growing profitably—this episode is a must-listen.
