🎧 Audio Included
Listen on your commute

You're running a shop. Not reading 10 websites.

OEM updates are accelerating.

New position statements, ADAS calibration requirements, and repair procedures drop weekly. Miss one, and you're on the hook for liability.

"Industry news" is vendor PR.

The trade mags are sponsored by the people trying to sell you equipment. You need signal, not sales pitches.

The shop down the street just approved the job you quoted and lost.

It's not luck. It's intel. They knew the insurer's new labor rate position. You didn't. That's the gap CrashCourse closes.

There's no time to stay current.

You're writing estimates, managing techs, fighting supplements, and running the business. Nobody has 3 hours a week to dig through industry noise.

One brief. Every Tuesday. Done.

Everything that matters — filtered by a shop owner who runs the same gauntlet you do.

📊

The Brief

3 industry stories that matter this week, with a production floor perspective on what it means for your business. Not a news dump — the "so what" from someone who lives it. Read it or listen. 🎧

🔧

The Play

One actionable tactic, template, or tool every issue. Not a think-piece — something you can use in your shop this week. Not theory — plays.

🔔

OEM & Insurance Radar

Insurer position changes, OEM procedure updates, calibration requirements — flagged before they hit your estimates. The shops that aren't getting blindsided? They know first.

📋

Resources Portal

Supplement appeal templates, a labor rate calculator, and a DRP negotiation playbook — built for shop owners, ready to use. Included with Shop Team and above. Tools your estimators will reach for every week.

🎧

No time to read? Hit play.

Every issue of CrashCourse Weekly is available as audio the moment it drops.

The Deep Dive

What shop owners are saying

I was spending two hours a week piecing together info from CCC forums, Facebook groups, and trade mags. Now I spend 5 minutes on Tuesday morning and I'm better informed than I was before. The supplement template alone saved me more than a year of membership.

The OEM alert on the new Honda position statement hit my inbox three weeks before I saw it anywhere else. If I'd missed that on a repair, we're talking $4,000 in rework. This pays for itself.

I forward this to my estimators every Tuesday. It's like having a shop owner mentor who reads everything so you don't have to. The DRP negotiation playbook is worth the subscription alone.
