Most of us drive nearly every day, whether on the commute to work or to pick up groceries or to take the occasional road trip. With so much time spent in the car, it's vital that you keep your vehicle in excellent working order. When you take your vehicle in for standard maintenance or for a necessary car repair, you're ensuring the safety of your loved ones and of your investment. But where you take your car for service matters; does your local auto body shop provide top quality care for your car? We spoke with Louie Sharp, the owner of Sharp Auto Body in Illinois, all about how to ensure you're getting the best vehicle care possible.Louie Sharp is wired to help people. He's been serving others non-stop since the 1970s when he served us all in the United States Marine Corps. After his release, Louie continued in the Marine Reserves for another sixteen years where he was a jet engine mechanic on both “E” and “N” model Huey helicopters. After active duty, the automotive world seemed to be calling his name. So in 1980 Louie became a full time apprentice body man with Scott's Auto Body in Arlington Heights, Illinois. At the same time he took the first step toward owning his own shop. In 1981 Sharp Auto Body opened its doors, and the dream was a reality. By the late ‘80s Louie was ready for another challenge and opened his towing business where he continues to offer 24 hour towing service. Louie Sharp is committed to excellence and well-being in everything he does. Safety, integrity and outrageous customer service are the keys to his success. I-Car certified, he is a graduate of the Automotive Management Success Program. He is an active member of the Automotive Service Association as well as DuPont's Performance Alliance and 20 Group Programs.Read More at: https://petite2queen.com/ensure-car-repair-protects-investment-loved-ones/Support the showCheck out Petite2Queen for more great interviews, podcasts, and blogs to help you achieve more, faster!https://www.petite2queen.com/​

I am talking with Michael Giarrizzo, CEO/President of DCR Systems, about embracing the change of our industry. As our vehicles become more complex things NEED TO CHANGE!Vehicles today are safety machines on wheels so what is your shop doing to make sure you are keeping those vehicles that come to you after a collision are being restored so they operate exactly like they would if they never would have gotten into an accident.We need to start taking on the responsibility of this to create a sustainable future in our industry! No more are the days of just checking fit and finish!  Michael challenges shops to:1 – establish your why2 – create processes that are non-negotiable (consistency)3 – have extensive documentation (documentation before, during and after the repair including manufacturer repair procedures, videos, photos, notes, etc.)4 – create quality control check points throughout your shop (ask your team where those QC checks should be. Utilize your team to make your business better.)If you want to ask any questions of Michael or inquire about becoming one of his licensed shops you can email him directly at:mgiarrizzo@dcrsystems.netLinks to Michael's past Body Bangin' interview - Episode #30 – Becoming a Lean, Mean, Auto Body Repair Machine:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-30-becoming-a-lean-mean-auto-body-repair-machine/id1558234037?i=1000553311049On YouTube: https://youtu.be/3YVwWiA9Um0?si=-CtQbNXGGYDoPf07____________________________ Connect with Micki on LinkedIn Now! :) https://www.linkedin.com/in/micki-woods-36374121/ For more info on Micki's Marketing Services to help you grow your shop's revenue click here: https://collisioncentermarketing.comEmail Micki directly at micki@mickiwoodsmarketing.comSupport the Show.For more info on Micki's Marketing Services to help you grow your shop's revenue click here: https://collisioncentermarketing.comEmail Micki directly at micki@mickiwoodsmarketing.com Join the Body Bangin' Facebook Group!https://www.facebook.com/groups/989546031854134
