Show Notes

In this episode, Braxton starts with a confession. Evidently, keeping good care of tires is not his strong suit. He then talks about legislative updates on the REPAIR Act (HR 1566) and the latest advocacy efforts in California, along with details on SEMA and AAPEX registration for this year’s Las Vegas events. Plus, Braxton highlights California's new Cool Air Rebate Program for vehicle A/C repair and introduces an AI-driven sales coaching platform for repair shops.
