  • So annoying

    The amount of times Zach says “ just to remind you CarEdge bla bla bla” throughout the podcast is so annoying.

    There’s no need to advertise their company every 5 minutes.

    It has put me off listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Car Repair Bills Are Exploding | Episode 1065
Q: What's driving the rise in repair costs beyond higher parts prices?
Primarily the complexity of modern vehicles that require more sophisticated diagnostics, specialized tools, and higher-skilled labor, which increases testing time and training costs.
Toyota Seriously HAS NO MORE CARS | How Did This Happen? | Episode 1059
Q: What role does communication play when there are delays in getting a car to the customer?
Maintaining clear, proactive communication about recalls, rail delays, or other transit issues is crucial to avoid customer frustration and protect the relationship long-term.
Toyota Seriously HAS NO MORE CARS | How Did This Happen? | Episode 1059
Q: How does Ackerman Toyota handle pricing and add-ons compared to other dealers?
Ackerman emphasizes transparent pricing with no dealer add-ons; the price online is the price you pay, with negotiable terms and historically low documentation fees in their area.
Toyota Seriously HAS NO MORE CARS | How Did This Happen? | Episode 1059
Q: What does it mean to buy a Toyota in today's market given you can't easily factory-order many models?
Dealers can still tailor orders for domestically built cars, adjust options and colors, and use allocations to offer a close match, but many purchases rely on inventory and timing rather than a traditional order process.
Dealers Can't Sell NEW CARS | Ford & Mazda Dealer Joins the Show | Episode 1061
Q: How does floor planning impact pricing decisions?
Dealers pay interest on inventory as it sits; accelerated turnover reduces floor-plan costs, so dealers may discount more aggressively to avoid higher long-term carrying costs, especially for older stock.
