When it comes to auto repair, the experience can vary dramatically depending on the shop's standards and practices. Below-standard auto repair shops often create significant frustrations for consumers, leading to a loss of trust and confidence in the industry. These shops typically fail to meet basic service expectations, resulting in a range of issues from subpar repairs to poor customer service. Such deficiencies can manifest in various ways, including the use of low-quality parts, inadequate diagnostic procedures, and insufficient technician training. Consequently, consumers may face recurring problems with their vehicles, extended downtimes, and unexpected expenses, which can be financially and emotionally draining. Industry Coach and talent Cecil Bullard, CEO of the Institute of Automotive Business Excellence, sheds light on the core issues plaguing below-standard auto repair shops. Cecil points out that these substandard shops often neglect customer service fundamentals, exacerbating consumer frustrations. Poor communication & lack of transparency, are common grievances. "Customers need to feel confident that their concerns are being heard and addressed properly," Bullard notes. When repair shops fall short in this area, it creates a disconnect and erodes the trust that is crucial for building long-term customer relationships. Join us as we investigate some of the root causes plaguing auto repair shops. *special call-in show contributor Greg Buckley of Buckley's Auto Care *Susie Sockets Singing Pandas Restaurant Chandler , AZ WrenchNation Youtube Channel

The disappearance of 3-year-old Elijah Vue from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, has sparked a frantic search effort, with authorities intensifying their efforts to locate the missing boy. Elijah was last seen around 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning, igniting concerns among family members and the community about his whereabouts and safety. In a significant development, inmate records reviewed by PEOPLE revealed that Elijah's mother, Katrina Baur, had been taken into custody, along with Jesse Vang, a resident at the address where Elijah was last seen. Both individuals were listed as inmates at the Manitowoc County Jail, raising questions about their potential involvement in Elijah's disappearance. However, it remains unclear whether they are facing charges related to the case. The uncertainty surrounding Elijah's disappearance has left family members deeply distressed, with his uncle, Orson Vue, expressing profound concern and hope for Elijah's safe return. Despite the anguish, the community has rallied together in a unified effort to find the missing boy, with Two Rivers city manager Greg Buckley acknowledging the overwhelming support from hundreds of community members participating in the search efforts since Tuesday. Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert, leading the investigation, emphasized the urgency of the situation, urging residents to remain vigilant and assist in the search. Describing Elijah's appearance and attire at the time of his disappearance, Meinnert appealed to the public to check their properties thoroughly, including outbuildings and concealed areas, in the hopes of locating Elijah. The search efforts have extended beyond physical canvassing, with authorities requesting residents to review surveillance footage from cameras and doorbell systems for any potential sightings of Elijah. Meinnert stressed the importance of even the smallest piece of information, underscoring its potential significance in aiding the investigation and bringing Elijah home safely. As the search for Elijah Vue continues, the community remains united in its determination to find the missing boy and ensure his well-being. The heartfelt plea from Elijah's family and the unwavering dedication of law enforcement and volunteers reflect a collective commitment to finding answers and providing solace to a community grappling with uncertainty and concern. In the face of adversity, the spirit of solidarity and resilience shines through, offering hope and support to Elijah's family and all those involved in the search efforts, as they persevere in their quest to bring Elijah home.
