No invite or did I miss it. Lol

How can I order direct?

I have some questions Gary, then hopefully I can pass the information on. See you at AGW

Enjoyed this one. Nice job Gary and Dell.

Outstanding!

Thanks for highlighting this important discussion! As someone who has firsthand experience at Auto Glass Week and voiced my concerns, I couldn’t agree more about the issues this event presents. Last year’s poor performance, with noticeably low foot traffic, clearly showed the bad value it offers. To make matters worse, giving away free tickets to sponsors not only dilutes the event’s value but also undermines the integrity of the entire experience for paying attendees. This isn’t just about high costs-Auto Glass Week’s restrictive policies for non-sponsors make it impossible for small businesses to properly network. Paying nearly $2,000 only to be barred from wearing your own logo or handing out business cards? That’s not an industry event-it’s an exclusive club for those willing to pay up. Let’s call it what it is: "Window Tint and Car Wrap Week," because less than 30% of the show is actually focused on Auto Glass Replacement. Auto glass shop owners and technicians are paying high fees for an event that doesn’t serve their needs. The truth is, the event organizers seem more concerned with profit than delivering real value to the auto glass industry. I’m happy to debate her live on this point.

I met Zach and Chris several years ago. I have watched them grow, and add locations. If you think you might need help with your AGR business, (day to day management, making sure you are doing jobs that are profitable, investing back into your business, ETC.) Reach out to him. I wish I had a company like this when I ran my business back in the 90's.

I also agree with your statement that her dual roles is not a conflict of interest. If you look at most of the trade shows in the remodeling industry, you will see most are organized by an individual or group with the same dual roles.

I think you were spot on to say you can take it or leave it. If you don’t think the show is worth it, then don’t attend. If it wasn’t a good product, they wouldn’t be able to afford to keep it going. I personally think the show has risen to a whole new level in recent years.

The free passes are a benefit to the exhibitor to make sure your customers have an extra reason to attend. Not that it’s needed, for this show. All part of the value for $5k. And for the record, the cost of the show and what you get for the money, it is truly a value. The items included in your booth cost blow away all the other trade shows we exhibit at.

Hope too see you all at the show stop by booth #215 Auto Glass Evolution and see the most affordable light weight portable adas system hands down.

So what you are saying is that it's not what you , want it's what the consumer wants ;)

LOL @ the Elmo pencil!!!

Totally agree on if you're doing something for free someone should be paying the way.

This is MY friend! Talented, extremely smart and all around great person! Explains why she’s the president of her company!!

It because safelite is a monopoly

I am an Independent Auto Glass Shop of 38 years. I have looked into Driven Brands as to whether or not it would be a beneficial fit for our company. Interesting enough they offer a premium payment on insurance claims as to what we are currently receiving now and of course the well known steering of work is ever present when you would become a "Preferred" shop just by signing up and paying the royalties. It did not fit our plan.

Great product! Urethane cleaner for all to use.

Test drive your recalibration to verify correct operation. Frank Terlep has been saying this for years. Without the test drive, you can't be certain of a correct recalibration.

Now I will have the song Ride like the wind stuck in my head.

Thanks James and Gary for help the industry.

Cool seeing the prototypes.

Impressive!

Lets go!!!! Can't wait to hear the full thing!!

I can't wait to hear my podcast LOL

Yep.

This channel should have more subscribers!

this beat goes hard

You're doing a service for us independent glass shops thank you sir

Can the AGSC provide registered members with approved marketing material that is social media friendly? I would think they would want to control the messaging and maintain consistency across membership.

In my area, many dealers just scan for codes if they don’t find any they call it good. A calibration wont necessarily be performed unless codes are present. Customer pays a fraction of typical calibration charge and thinks they’re good. Glass shop loses revenue.

28:34 totally agree

19:49 spot on

Would love to decode side and back glass in the future

7:53 my csr’s love getting the calibration type from Autobolt. Great job including that.

Great topic. Great interview.

Dave’s memory and ability to tell stories is impressive. Daves had a huge impact on our business. Listen to what he’s saying his times priceless.

Nice job! I always enjoy talking with Dave. Thanks for putting these podcasts together.
