Fixed Ops Magazine 2024 Vol 21-2 - 16

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER
FUNDAMENTALS, LEADERSHIP,
TECHNOLOGY
The first quarter is in the books and we are off to a great start
in 2024. The marketplace has settled on a slower growth path
for EV's with Hybrids taking a larger role than was anticipated
a year ago. That is good news for Fixed Ops as traditional ICE
services will continue to be a service driver along with the OEM
warranty and recall business. The short-term future looks very
encouraging in the service sector of franchised dealerships. To
accommodate growth, you will need to understand and execute
the fundamentals, integrate the wave of new technologies
available to you and show true leadership to your teams in this
ever-changing business.
In this issue, the best of the industry have contributed articles
that will help you steer your organization through these changing
times. One example is our cover story by Shon Kingrey, Vice
President of Fixed Operations at the Kayser Group. He talks about
executing the fundamentals in Fixed Operations. Also, Ed Roberts
with Bozard Ford Lincoln discusses leadership being effective
versus by just being busy. I hope you pick up some great ideas
from these articles along with stories on integrating technology,
managing obsolete parts, and seeing your staff as ambassadors of
your dealership. I hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we
have enjoyed assembling these great articles for you.
