{"version":"1.0.0","episode":{"title":"Building A 20 Million Auto Repair Brand!","url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/building-a-20-million-auto-repair-brand","audioUrl":"https://pdcn.co/e/www.buzzsprout.com/246908/episodes/19227561-building-a-20-million-auto-repair-brand.mp3","description":"You can feel it when a business is built on momentum instead of luck and Jesse Jackson brings that energy in a big way. We talk with the founder of Mango Automotive about how she jumps from software and automotive industry data into the brick-and-mortar world, buying her first auto repair shop while still learning what it truly takes to run a service bay, lead a team, and win customer trust. The result is a fast growth story that’s equal parts mindset, operations, and gritty daily execution. We dig into what actually moves the needle in an automotive repair business: elevating the customer experience, marketing with intention, and building systems that don’t fall apart as you scale. Jesse breaks down why the team that helps you reach one revenue milestone may not be the team that gets you to the next, and how hiring a strong operating partner and then hiring people “better than us” becomes a strategy, not a slogan. We also get into branding that people remember, including the clean modern feel of Mango shops and the famous “pink wall” that customers definitely notice. If you’re curious about EV service and hybrid repair, Jesse shares a grounded take: training great technicians matters more than chasing shiny equipment. We also talk recruiting in a technician shortage and why culture, pay, weekends off, and basic respect can turn a hiring problem into a reputation advantage. Subscribe, share this with someone building a car repair business, and leave us a review with your biggest takeaway.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
