🎙️CEO and President, Bill Hanvey on Limitless Leadership LLC Podcast Tune in as Bill Hanvey join Josh Parnell 🚀 on the Limitless Leadership Podcast, where they delved into critical topics impacting our industry. As the President and CEO of the Auto Care Association, he shares insights on the right to repair, the significance of core values, and how we can all be change agents within our field. One of the key issues tackled was the right to repair. Bill emphasized that “it’s death by a thousand cuts” when repair data is inaccessible. Each time a vehicle has to go back to the dealership, it strains the relationship between shop owners and their customers. This isn't just about cars—it's about fairness in trade and empowering independent repair shops. For over a decade, the Auto Care Association has fought for the rights of vehicle owners and independent shops. From key legislative victories to ongoing initiatives like the federal REPAIR Act, we're committed to ensuring everyone has access to the data they need. As we continue to focus on leadership and connection in our industry, I encourage everyone to embrace their potential and drive meaningful change. Let's make our industry better, together! 💪 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/e_PBGpDM #autocare #automotiveaftermarket
