This episode focuses on a SWOT analysis, examining the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that will shape the automotive industry over the next three to five years. Panelists highlight key strengths, such as the industry’s resilience and the aging vehicle fleet, alongside critical weaknesses like the shortage of experienced staff and trainers. Opportunities explored include EV and hybrid servicing, as well as the growing demand for technical educators, while threats encompass supply chain challenges, OEM influence, and internal industry conflicts. The conversation also underscores the importance of framing automotive work as a skilled career rather than a trade, along with the need for succession planning and mentorship within shops.
