Craig O'Neill is Vice President of Training at Autoflow, formerly Autotext.me. Starting at a young age, Craig gained priceless experience at his family's transmission shop, serving in a variety of roles including Service Manager, Technician and Business Manager. Craig's greatest interest is in technology and since 2018, when he joined Autoflow, he has developed training processes to support shops launching digital systems. In this episode… How can a tire and auto repair shop ensure the safety of a customer's vehicle while potentially increasing the number of services a customer desires? Is it better to complete a full inspection or simply service the part of the vehicle that the customer says is causing problems? If these questions resonate with you, check out this episode of Gain Traction! Craig O'Neill, from Autoflow, says he was always against completing full inspections of customer vehicles. He thought it was just an underhanded way for shops to upsell additional services, until one day at a tech expo a speaker said the job of every technician is to make sure the vehicle is safe, reliable, and efficient — and the only way to do that is to complete a full inspection. That speaker soon became Craig's mentor and helped him implement an invaluable digital inspection program which includes sending pictures of vehicle issues to the customer. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Craig for a conversation about the importance of a digital inspection process at tire and auto repair shops — even shops with one primary specialty like transmissions, brakes, or tires. Craig talks about what Autoflow does, how its software enhances customer service, and how it greatly benefits tire and auto repair shops. He discusses the amazing value of sharing photos with customers that highlight issues involving their vehicles. Don't miss it! Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:  Craig O'Neill explains why he moved from a technical role to management at his family transmission shop How Craig found his job at Autoflow Why digital inspections are becoming a necessity for tire and auto repair shops How sending pictures from an inspection prompted a customer to increase the number of services she desired A major success story Craig has experienced with Autoflow Why Craig considers it a blessing to have Christian Brothers Automotive as a client The funniest story from Craig's career Resources mentioned in this episode: Craig O'Neill on LinkedIn Autoflow  Christian Brothers Automotive Traction Summit  Smithers Mike Edge on LinkedIn Tread Partners Retread Sponsor for this episode...

Dear Johnny – My name is Elaine and I'm writing to you because my family needs some help this holiday season. My husband, Nick, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (blood cancer) on July 21, 2021. He has been admitted into KU Med to receive a bone marrow transplant on December 8th. We live in a very small town (Hume, Mo) about an hour and a half south of Kansas City. Thanks to some amazing friends who live close to KC, they are going to take us in after Nick is able to be released from KU Med. For all of the driving we've been doing we bought a more reliable car, but recently there's been a rattling noise in the front end of the car. My husband is a truck driver and has always worked on our cars, but with him sick I can't afford to get it fixed. We just don't have the money right now and I know my husband feels pressure because he's always been the one to take care of us and he feels like he's letting us down. We are spending Christmas in the hospital and it's sad to be away from our family. I just wanted to see if we might be able to get any help. I'd like to try to put a smile on my wonderful husband's face. I just want him to know that everything's going to be okay. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. - Elaine Who Helped: Taylor, Joe, Trevor w/ Christian Brothers Automotive, Allied Towing How You Helped: tow and repair the car, paid off electric bill See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He grew up working in the family business. The primary business back then was tire related, but they did venture into some general repair. This is when Tomi realized what he was going to be when he grew up. For Tomi, the tire side of the business was a chore but once he got a taste for the repair and technical side of the automotive service business, he knew his professional direction. Tomi was hooked. So much so that he went against his father’s wishes and attended UTI Glendale Heights where he graduated in 2004. After graduating, he worked for a Nissan Dealer for a while before returning to Chicago to take over his Father’s Tire Business. If you guessed that Tomi would probably convert the tire shop into a full general repair business, then you guessed right. San Jose Automotive Center is now an automotive general service business and has been since 2015. About two years ago, Tomi started attended technical training and meeting others that shared his same passion for diagnostics. The relationships that Tomi developed from these courses and training events have opened doors to some awesome opportunities. To say that Tomi is satisfied with his career choice and industry involvement would be an understatement, but he’s just getting started.   Mario Rojas picked up a wrench for the first time 10 years ago, after watching someone do a brake job. He landed a job at the local repair shop a couple of years later after doing brakes, belts, hoses, and suspension work out in the street. That shop sent him to a small electrical theory class and he became fascinated with it. He studied every magazine, every YouTube video he could get his hands on and one by one took and passed his ASE tests. Once he received his L1 certification, he was fortunate enough to find a reputable shop. They allowed him to create a YouTube channel. His goal is to share with and motivate techs of all ages but to especially motivate the younger techs in the industry. He hopes to share as much knowledge as possible in the same fashion that he was fortunate...
