Hey there, friends—welcome back to the Fixed Ops Roundtable! You’re going to want to buckle up for this one because we’re diving into a conversation that’s equal parts fascinating, futuristic, and downright practical.
This episode, I’m joined by a great friend of the industry, Tim Jackson—author of Dude, Where’s My Flying Car? and past President/CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. Tim’s not just an advocate for dealers; he’s a true innovator with a passion for the history and future of mobility. And trust me, this conversation is unlike anything we’ve had on the show before.

What we discuss in this episode:
We’re talking flying cars—not just sci-fi dreams, but real, tangible progress happening right now. Tim shares how these vehicles could revolutionize not just transportation but the way we think about service departments and dealerships. Imagine a tech flying out to a customer in a personal aviation vehicle. Wild, right?
But it’s not all about the skies. Tim dives into critical topics like:
- Why stair-step pricing is bad for everyone—dealers, automakers, and especially customers.
- The reality of EVs and why affordability still feels out of reach.
- How cities are reshaping mobility (hint: they’re making it harder to own and park cars).
This is the kind of conversation that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about where the industry is heading. Plus, Tim’s got stories—like why bicycles were the real OGs of mobility innovation and how they paved the way for everything from Model Ts to flying cars.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s next for our industry or just want to hear about some mind-blowing advancements (Jetson ONE jet packs, anyone?), this is the episode for you. Hit play, and let’s dig in.
