Dwayne invests time in the industry with the Auto Care Association and serves on the education committee with CCPN (Car Care Professional Network).

He is very passionate about hiring and sustaining a strong and engaged team. Listen to Dwayne’s previous episodes HERE.
Brian Sump is not your typical shop owner. A former professional athlete, Sump had never turned a wrench in a shop before starting Denver-based Avalon Motorsports in 2007. But in the years since, he has used his business acumen and a detailed, process-based management philosophy to grow the German-specialty shop into what a number of industry consultants consider to be an industry leader. Listen to Brian’s previous episodes HERE.
Key Talking Points:
- Team Building before you start your next branch is critical
- You need to build your team. Have your team train their replacements. Decide ahead of time who’s going to lead the new shop or old shop. You cannot run both at the same time. Develop some sop so you can open a new location quickly.
