Fixing cars isn’t what it used to be, and that’s what makes it exciting. Today’s auto mechanic needs to do more than turn a wrench. With classic cars running on pure mechanics and modern cars powered by sophisticated tech, the job now blends old-school know-how with digital problem-solving. Whether you dream of restoring vintage Mustangs or decoding error messages on a Tesla, understanding how car repair has evolved is essential.
Replacement parts have historically been the largest segment of light vehicle aftermarket products but that’s been changing over the last five years, according to Lang Marketing. Its share and growth pace have declined, leading to significant changes in the aftermarket. In its place, tools and equipment and accessories are seeing a growing share. In 2019, replacement parts accounted for nearly 65 per cent of light vehicle product volume.
The largest automaker of the Detroit Big Three is recalling certain previous-gen Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.

The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, with consumer expectations shifting, competition intensifying and digital transformation changing how people shop for and service vehicles. Even as digital tools reshape the car-buying journey, one channel remains rich with overlooked value: everyday customer conversations. Dealerships and service departments have countless inbound and outbound customer conversations.
I've always said that not liking a Shelby is impossible, even if you're a Chevrolet guy. These cars had everything you could ever want, beginning with gorgeous styling and ending with the performance under the hood. The GT350 was joined by the GT500 in 1967, and Ford and Carroll Shelby tried to refine the new model with every new model year. ( continue reading.

As a 4th of July special, here is a trio of those super-special legendary ponies. Hurrah for the Red, White, and Blue Oval! The story really began with an accident: in late 1966, a mechanic from Tasca Ford took the Bop. ( continue reading.
