À propos de ce contenu audio

Automotive Informants is where real operators talk about what’s actually happening inside the car business.

Hosted by Chris Martinez and Zach Fritz, this podcast goes beyond headlines and hype. We break down the strategies, decisions, and execution that drive real growth inside dealerships and automotive companies across the country.

You’ll hear conversations about AI implementation, fixed ops performance, used car strategy, leadership, marketing, inventory, and the operational moves that separate average stores from elite ones. No theory. No recycled conference talk. Just practical insight from people who’ve built, scaled, and led from the front lines.

If you’re a dealer principal, GM, department manager, or growth-minded executive who wants to stay ahead of where this industry is going, this is your weekly edge.

The future of automotive won’t be shaped by opinions. It will be shaped by operators who execute.
