What we discuss in this episode:

For years, consolidators like Caliber Collision, Gerber Collision, and Crash Champions have been taking over the industry—leaving dealerships questioning whether they should even stay in the collision game. But what if there was a way to turn your collision center into a customer retention and revenue-generating machine?

That’s exactly what we’re talking about today.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• How Collision Vehicle Exchange helps dealers turn total loss vehicles into new car sales.
• Why consolidators are gaining market share—and what dealerships can do to fight back.
• The massive hidden revenue in collision repair that many dealers overlook.
• How fixed ops, BDC, and sales can work together to keep customers inside your ecosystem instead of losing them to competitors.
• The data behind why 50% of repaired vehicles are traded within 12 months—and how dealers can capitalize on that.

If you’re in fixed ops, sales, or dealership leadership, this episode will change the way you look at your collision center. You don’t have to lose customers to the consolidators—you just need the right strategy to keep them.
