I'm 42 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: going to dive right into it if I can, because 43 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot I want to talk about 44 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: with you. You were at SEEMA at the show just 45 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: this past November and Umber twenty two, and you had 46 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: some really great comments and insight, truth be told. 47 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: I got the idea for this by. 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Reading, you know, the all data news copy that I 49 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: get every month and just your thoughts. You know, I'd 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: like to just go through the article itself, if that's 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: okay with you, and if there's anything you'd like to add, 52 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: of course, But you know, right off the beat, somebody 53 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: had asked you what your key takeaways were from the 54 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two SEMA show. Can you can you highlight 55 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: that for the listeners? 56 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, Ronnie, I think, Ronnie ron We attend the 57 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 3: SEMA every single year. Last two years we didn't go 58 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: there because of the COVID pandemic situation. So this time 59 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: means that we have a booth. We usually have a 60 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: good boot. It's a selling show for us. We sell 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: a lot of products during the show. But what I 62 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: saw watching that SEEMA walking around talking to customers, talking 63 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: to the car owners and turists who are looking for 64 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: the new designs, that it's else like that we are 65 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: back to pre pandemic level. There was a lot of excitement, 66 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: a lot of new car designs. Attendance was also I 67 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: believed in one hundred thirty five thousand, or close to 68 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: maybe twenty thirty percent more than last year. But looking 69 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: into I think more excitement to me was that there's 70 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: so much innovation going on in the industry, whether it's 71 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: looking at the car designs, whether looking at the new 72 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: technology is coming in. So I feel like our industry 73 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: is booming. Our industry is in a good place where 74 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: the new innovation coming from, and all things were good 75 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: when you look at the industry auto, aftermarket and also 76 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: the car. When you look at the car, I look 77 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: at car as the If you think of this that 78 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: this may be the second most expensive transaction that the 79 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: person is going to do after the house. Right now. 80 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: There can be plenty of other ones too, right, but 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: most of them will be the second biggest one. So 82 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: it's pretty interesting for everybody to look at their cars. 83 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: What it provides. It's not only a mobility tool. Now, 84 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: it's not only the like a vehicle that takes you 85 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: from A to B, but it's becoming much more than that. 86 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Well, it's a major investment, right, I mean, you can 87 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: spend one hundred thousand dollars on a car today without 88 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: even trying. You know, it's not impossible, and you know 89 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: they say exactly in that order house, car and kids, 90 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: and kids are slowly with the price of a college education. 91 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: I think kids are sort of nosing out cars in 92 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: some cases. But you're absolutely right on the money, yep. 93 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 3: And for me to mean that, if you look into 94 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: the car these days, it means you have the autonomous 95 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: features in there. You have a lot of aida systems 96 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: in there too, and it's becoming like that. You can 97 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: use your car while you're driving to work or someplace else, 98 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: make phone calls, like take other things. Hands off, you 99 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: don't need to be put on. Your cell phone goes 100 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: to your ear. There are plenty of things in the 101 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: car that makes like a working office. I make many 102 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: ca during that might commute from a place to b placed. Right, 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 3: There's plenty of things. And as you get more autonomous, 104 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: as you get more features in there, it's going to 105 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: give you more mobility and also those kind of features a. 106 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: DOS has exploded, right or made driver says systems. It's 107 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: it's just every new car now has a DOS in it. 108 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: And you actually quoted that. I'm quoting you. You said 109 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: that in the in the article regarding SEMA. 110 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: How do you deal with that at all? Data? 111 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: You know, to keep up with that information. That's just 112 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: such an enormous task, right. 113 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: That's right, and I mean just to give up. First, 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: on all leader side, we publish OEM content O you 115 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: to pay, procedures to repay and diagnostic business as we 116 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 3: get from the OEMs, right, which is manufacturers. So our 117 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: goal is to get that information to car owners or 118 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 3: our shops which are our customers, as soon as we 119 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: get from the OEM. So that's what our number one 120 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: goal is. So we want to make sure those cars 121 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: are fixed properly based on OEM specifications. So that's our 122 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: number one objective in there. When you're looking into more 123 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: and more AIDA systems coming in all those things, OEM 124 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: is providing that information. So we are bringing that information 125 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: to make sure the DA wires which are the car 126 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: owners if they want to fix their own cars, or 127 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: the shop owners get that information quipin in our product. 128 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 3: In all data products, we I think a couple of 129 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: years ago we did publish aid as two specifications, So 130 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: if you're in our product then you want to fix 131 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: a car, we are providing AIDS two specifications that you 132 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: can look at that and to see what else do 133 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 3: you need to take care of while you're fixing one thing, 134 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: which may be the bumper or any anything that you 135 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: look at which has aida systems. What do you need 136 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: to calibrate, what do you need to do other things 137 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: to make sure your car functions properly based on OUM specification. 138 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: So our goal is to get that information to our technicians, 139 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: to our DII wise as soon as we get you know. 140 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: It's funny, right fifty years ago, we'll go back fifty years. 141 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: Fifty years ago we were worried about how to adjust 142 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: a chruck pull off on a carburetor. Thirty years ago 143 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: we were talking fuel injection and feedback two sensors. And 144 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: ten years ago we thought the industry had peaked in 145 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: a way of technology because it was all high duty, 146 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: high control fuel injection. A DOS is here, and a 147 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: DOS just presents challenges for the auto industry every day, 148 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: just keeping up with the demand for information in the 149 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: way it's changing and all that it does rise to 150 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: that occasion obviously, so well, you know, and then we've 151 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: got ev vehicles, right, and that's the next evolution, and 152 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: then you know, you just can't well you just can't 153 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: wait for the OEI to provide that to you. You 154 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: still got to have a way to index it and 155 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: categorize it, and it's got to be an ongoing, ever 156 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: growing situation to keep up with demand. It's a full 157 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: time job. Right beyond a full time job, I would think. 158 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: That's right, and I think you picked up the right point. 159 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: So first thing is we have the big team that 160 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: we get content from the OEMs. We then transform. We 161 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: don't change anything. We publish as it is, but we 162 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: have to change it to artexson me based on all 163 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: the OEMs so that we can searche information in one 164 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: bay standard way. Then we just do the conversion so 165 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 3: that all the links and other things are within the document. 166 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 3: So we have new technologies that we can publish that 167 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 3: content almost every day if you need to. So that's 168 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 3: the technology plays a role. Our commitment to our customers, 169 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 3: to our owners plays a role because we pay very 170 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: strong commitment. With the strong commitment, we focus on living 171 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: that content as soon as we can. And definitely, I think, 172 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: as you mentioned that it's not it's more than full 173 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: time job because not only that OEMs provide that information, 174 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: but they're also providing information in different formats. Right, it 175 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: can be JPAG, it can be just PDF, it can 176 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: be the hype hdpp I means all the HTML. So 177 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: we have to work on those, making sure we can 178 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 3: publish that content in a reasonable standard format. So our 179 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: teams work on those, and our commitment to as I 180 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 3: mentioned many times, is art to make sure our customers, 181 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 3: whether those are shops and the car owners, get the 182 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: information right when they need it as long as OEM 183 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: provides to us. 184 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they it's it's just incredible how quick you 185 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: actually bring it to market, because it seems to show 186 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: up within you know, I've seen twenty twenty three information 187 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: out there already. So the teams bring it to market 188 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: really well. We're going to pull over and take a pause. 189 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: That Winder. 190 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: When we come back, I want to put this bug 191 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: in your ear. You're a body shop. The car gets 192 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: sit in the front. It's not just replacing or repairing 193 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: a bumper anymore, is it. I want you to talk 194 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: a little bit about that and what's involved with that, 195 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: and why a body shop needs information too, and some 196 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: of the complications they run into. So let's do that. 197 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Let's pull over, take a pause. We're here with President 198 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: Satwinder mang out of all data I'm running any in 199 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: the car Doctor. We'll both be back right after this. 200 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 5: Don't go away, whether it's a little red Corvette or 201 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 5: you go, You've come to the right place to get 202 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 5: that car fixed. 203 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: We're on an ad in the car doctor. 204 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 5: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero. 205 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 2: Now back to Ron. 206 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, I'm back running in the car doctor. 207 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: We're here with President Satwinder, Mangot of all Data, Satwinder. 208 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: When we pulled away, we were you know, I left 209 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: you with that thought regarding body shops and a bumper, right, 210 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: a simple bumper repair. Maybe fifteen twenty years ago that 211 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: was pretty simple, right, But now you know a modern car, 212 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: a more modern car, a newer car gets gets a 213 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: bumper hit. There's a lot of complications there. What can 214 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: they reasonably expect? What's involved? 215 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, as you said, run means that if these are 216 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: just a mechanical parts, this was like ten fifteen, twenty 217 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: years ago. It's much easier. You learn from your dad, 218 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: you learn from somebody else. Now you know the mechanical thing, 219 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: you can pull it out and you can put it there. 220 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: You can put the new one in. But as you mentioned, 221 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: these days every car has a DA system. So let's 222 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: just take on the bumper side. They may have a 223 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: sensor on it, they may have a camera on it. 224 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: So when you kick it off, and both of those 225 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: cameras or sensors are not just on the bumper, they're 226 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: talking to something else in the car. They're communicating that 227 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: information back to someplace right saying okay, I have somebody 228 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: in front of me, or I have something else going on, 229 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: and then your car takes action and show you all 230 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: the warning signals. So when you have to replace the bumper, 231 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: you have to make sure that you then take care 232 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: of calibration of those cameras or sensors so that they 233 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: can talk back still to them to the car processor 234 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 3: or let's call the car brain where it's showing up right. 235 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: And if you don't do that, then what's going to happen? Now? 236 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: If it's even a point one degree calibration different, the 237 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: cameras are looking someplace else or something else, you can 238 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 3: get into an accident and they're not calibrated properly, they're 239 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: not reset properly. 240 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: That's right. 241 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: So it's right, and so it becomes so important these days. 242 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: Although I meet with many people in the cardinal technicians 243 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: to there, I know I know they'll say, I know 244 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 3: how to fix it, but yes, you know, but the 245 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: industry has changed. Cars have changed, So make sure you're 246 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: fixing it. Not to just put a new bumper in there, 247 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: but you're calibrating. You're rees setting it so that car 248 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: sends information back and you're safe. 249 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think a DOS has changed the industry 250 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: more than most people realize. Back to your point, if 251 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: they paint the bumper and then put a sensor, and 252 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: you know they have if you look, if everybody looks 253 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: at their bumper of a modern car that has that 254 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: little round plastic sensor sticking in the bumper, if the 255 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: thickness of the paint is too much on the bumper, 256 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: it will offset that sensor and affect how it operates. 257 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: You know, there's there's just it. 258 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: It's not even just is the bumper on straight. It's 259 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: it's down to the thickness of the paint being sprayed 260 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: on the bumper. And they need information now. Last year, 261 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, I'm gonna blow your horn. Okay, 262 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: All Data one. All Data is a DOS quick reference 263 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: tool received two industry awards. You guys were the cutting 264 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: edge with P ten, which is one of the trade magazines. 265 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: You won the P ten Innovation Award and the SEMA 266 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: New Product Award, all right because of the a DOSK 267 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: quick reference tool that you've developed and included in all data. 268 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Now you know, when you were developing that, did you 269 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: have certain goals? And now that the tool is out there, 270 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: has it? Has it met those goals? Has it exceeded 271 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: your demand? Are you guys happy with it? Are you 272 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: are you tweaking it even more for the future. 273 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I think first thing is a great key effort. 274 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: So when we start looking into AID systems coming in 275 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: more and more, and we start hearing from our technicians 276 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: that this is what they're looking for. They need a 277 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 3: quick specification where they can look into quickly instead of 278 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: going through the whole repair procedures. So we did produce 279 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: that and I think team get a wonderful job. And 280 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: I think a lot of interest when I was in 281 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: SEEMA from the car owners and the shop and the 282 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: technicians too, right, they were looking into some information. So 283 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: now our goal is again to as I mentioned that 284 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: we will continue to evolve those as the information evolves, 285 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: we will continue providing more information, continue to make it 286 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: simple and we are seeing from our side, we're very 287 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: happy that the usage is pretty high. So that means 288 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: our technicians, which are many hundreds and thousands, they're looking 289 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: into that information and using it again. Our goal is 290 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: to provide the information right information so that we can 291 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 3: and keep the car owners and fix the car properly 292 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: based on the OEMs and standard in and that helps 293 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: like a safety wise, do right. 294 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: Right, you know, it's it's just so important. I don't 295 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: think people realize. We had a We had a call 296 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: on the show about a year ago. Women from Florida. 297 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: Her windshield is cracked. Now she had she had suber 298 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: ueidas and they put a windshield in the car, and unfortunately, 299 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: her husband, who knew better, said no, I don't want 300 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: to pay for a calibration, and never had a calibration done. 301 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: And she called into the show and she's explaining to 302 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: me that as she's driving along, the car would veer, 303 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: it would pull, it would do all these crazy things 304 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: and just react as if somebody else was driving the car. 305 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: And I thought about it, and actually what happened was 306 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: full disclosure. My wife was around Thanksgiving. My wife had 307 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: made turkey with gravy and as I'm putting gravy on 308 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: my turkey at the Sunday dinner. My glasses steamed up 309 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: and it dawned on me, and I called her back, 310 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: and I got her back on the show, and I 311 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: explained to everybody what going on is they they change 312 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the windshield, that changed the opacity or the clear the 313 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: clearness of the glass. The a DOS system needed to 314 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: be calibrated. One she got the system calibrated, solved the 315 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: problem too. She straightened out her husband and doesn't tell 316 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: her how to fix the car anymore. 317 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know. It wasn't a good or a 318 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: bad thing. But uh, you know. 319 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: A DOS is a big safety issue, and and that's 320 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: where and why things like the quick reference and the 321 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: information that you're bringing to market just plays such a 322 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: huge role. And you know, we've got we've got to 323 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: accept that there's there's no more cheating. 324 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: Right. 325 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: You made a comment at SEMA that a DOS is 326 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: preventing modification of vehicles right lifted vehicles to to modify suspensions, 327 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: And you know it's it's how will that alter the 328 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: future of the industry five years from now, Will they'll 329 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: be off road suspension kits? Will there'll be ways to 330 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: lift the vehicle. Well, there be ways to modify you know. 331 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: We even question will we be able to put in 332 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, factory rados uh, you know, or change the 333 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: factory radio and put it in a non factory radio, 334 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, if if it's at all possible. 335 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: So let's pull over, take a pause. Uh you know. 336 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: But before we go, I want to leave you with 337 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: this thought, Satwinder, if I can do you see? You know, 338 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: does all data have changes or plans in the future? 339 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: For quick reference, how are you going to I want 340 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: you to think a little bit about while we're while 341 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: we're away on the break, how are they going to 342 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: incorporate electric vehicle information? And is it going to change 343 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I had to put this delicately. 344 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: Is it going to change? 345 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 6: It? 346 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: With the way things cost, I mean, information costs the oees, 347 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: it's they're going to charge you more. You've got to 348 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: change your pricing. Is there going to be a different approach? 349 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: Can you see shops Well, maybe they don't do evs. 350 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: They'll only pay for internal combustion information engine information information, 351 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, and then we'll be able to get EV information. 352 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: So just food for thought. Think about that when we 353 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: come back, well, we'll talk about it. I'm Ronning any 354 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: and the card doctor. We're back right after this. 355 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: Don't go. 356 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: Let welcome back the card doctor who the Satwinder, Mangot 357 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: of All Data, President of All Data, Satwinder. You know 358 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: where I think I was going with those questions and 359 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: thoughts before the break was you know, I read an 360 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: article recently that talked about how repair shops are Some 361 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: repair shops are peaking out, is the way they described it, 362 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: meaning some aren't just going to work on electric vehicles. 363 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: Some aren't going to work on a dos vehicles. They're 364 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: going to limit and stop and just work on, you know, 365 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: vehicles twenty fifteen and older, or twenty twenty five and older, 366 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: and so forth. Do you see a day when all 367 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: data might you know, separate the information. Here's our ev information, 368 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: here's our newer cars, here's our older cars. Does something 369 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: like that happen with information? Do you just give it 370 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: all out the way you've been doing it and let 371 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: the shop decide? 372 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: Good question, Ron from the business side, I think you 373 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: will go wherever our customers want us to go. If 374 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: that's important to them, then we'll figure it out. We'll 375 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 3: figure it out what makes sense to our customers, right, 376 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 3: if you need to separate that thing. Again, separation is 377 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 3: as you know, as you mentioned earlier on that EV 378 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 3: population will continue to grow right as you get into 379 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,239 Speaker 3: next ten to fifteen years, so there will be more 380 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 3: and more cars. So if you're going to work on 381 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 3: the older carse which is going to be kind of 382 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: at the end of their life cycle, so then I'll 383 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 3: question that also that are you planning to stay in 384 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 3: the business for longer term? So I would say these 385 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 3: shops thinking through separation, I would say, think through not 386 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: separating those two, thinking through, as you will say, having 387 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 3: the right tools, providing the right advice and working with 388 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 3: your customers so that you can be in the business 389 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: instead of just giving up on EV side of it. 390 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: EV is a EV, right, It's okay, it's a car. 391 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: It may have less components, it may have less complexity 392 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 3: too from that mechanical portion. But I wouldn't say again, 393 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: I will go where customers want us to go. Right now, 394 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 3: we don't have any plan to separate that information. We 395 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 3: will continue to publish the EV information as we get 396 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 3: from the manufacturers, right. We will continue as part of 397 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: our package at this point right. 398 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 2: You know. 399 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: The article also pointed out and talked about the technician shortage, 400 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: and one of the things that it had brought up 401 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: was that because of the technician shortage, and shops are 402 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: getting older, right, and you know a lot of listen. 403 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: I sit in the AAC certifications every year, and you know, 404 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 1: we're all we've all got gray hair. Now, you know, 405 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: there's very few kids coming in. And I sit there 406 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: and I look around, and I say, where is the future, 407 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: Where's that next level and that next generation of technician 408 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: to come into this business? And I think we're in 409 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: a funny spot. 410 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: You know. 411 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: I look at some of the new stuff that comes up. 412 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: And you mentioned this in your SEMA conversation. You talked 413 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: about case right connected autonomous shared electric vehicles and I think, 414 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: you know, will an independent shop gear up. 415 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: To fix that? And what will that cost be? 416 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: So that's where the article was talking and then it referenced, 417 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, dividing up the information. 418 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: Talk to us about CASE vehicles. 419 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: If you could, Satwinder, explain to that, explain that to 420 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: the audience if you would. 421 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 3: No, definitely, I think this is where I think our 422 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 3: conversation around earlier ongoing in there to connected. So as 423 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 3: the car technology changes and evolve into new new things 424 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: of evs and other things, so connected, more autonomous, these 425 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: cars would be talking to each other. That's what it's becoming. 426 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: More technology. You have more one hundred million plus lines 427 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 3: of code now in the car, which is the supercomputers 428 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: and supercomputers into built into those now. So your cars 429 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: are talking to each other. They're going to be driving 430 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 3: because of all these aida systems on their own with 431 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: your support. I think there are multiple levels. So you 432 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 3: can think of as the autonomous vehicles right now. You're 433 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: not in the totally autonomous side, although there are vehicles, 434 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: but I think to get to that stage we need 435 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 3: to do multiple things. But connected when the cars are 436 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 3: talking to each other. Autonomous is when can car can 437 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: drive on its own? And then shared is another one, 438 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: which is do I really need to own the car? 439 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 3: Can I have the shared kind of like you have 440 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: the rental car? Right so it's a similar model that 441 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 3: you can share that I can go become my car 442 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 3: and move on. I don't need to own the car. 443 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 3: It's a shared vehicle based on certain contractual obligations that 444 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 3: we have. And then electric, I think electric you know electic, No, 445 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: it's good for everything. I means when you look at electric, 446 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 3: I think we're early in the adoption cycle. We need 447 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 3: to still figure out our infrastructure, the batteries, the charging station, 448 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 3: the range, anxiety, all those things are going to play 449 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 3: out over the time and it's going to get better. 450 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: But it's good for climate too. But at the same time, 451 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: I would say it's going to be evolving over time. 452 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 3: It's not going to happen within five years or six. 453 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 3: Becomes like a little more political sometimes statements, but we 454 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: need to build our infrastructure along the way. I trust 455 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 3: our people that they will make the right decisions when 456 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 3: the time comes for them, so they will move towards 457 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: electric when the time comes in. But these case cards 458 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: connected it on MI Shared Electric is the future and 459 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 3: our shops are I would say both the owners to 460 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 3: we need to continue learn that thing. As I think 461 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: you mentioned someplace in there too. Tools are important. It's 462 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 3: very critical to have the right tools to fix the 463 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: car properly, very important things. Training is important. It's not 464 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: going to happen just to learn from somebody. You have 465 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 3: to continue learning. So not only that you know how 466 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 3: to fix the car, but you need to computer skill 467 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 3: still so that you can understand what do I need 468 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: to properly diagnose and then properly fix the car. So 469 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 3: all these things in lawsuits, legislations, all other things will 470 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 3: play a role in there too, because if you're not 471 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: able to fix the car properly, are you if you're 472 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 3: fixing your own car, if you don't fix it, then 473 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: there's a safety concern too. So all these things I'm 474 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: not I'm optimistic. I feel like our industr is evolving, 475 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: which is a good thing. And as industee evolves, instead 476 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 3: of running away and saying I'm going to only do 477 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 3: this or that, learn it, use the proper tools, respect 478 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: tools as you will say in many things right, and 479 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: then working on those and the older generation, the earlier 480 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 3: which are expert now they call expert, and the new 481 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 3: generation as comes in, they're going to be using more 482 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 3: and more technology to fix it. But I think our 483 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 3: bigger problem, as you talked about labor shortage, I think 484 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: that's where we need to and bring in that younger 485 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 3: generation into the workforce into fixing the cars. And only 486 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 3: way to do it to make it attractive, pride to 487 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 3: the training and get them on the boat, right. 488 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: And and and provide them, you know, with with you know, 489 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: the ability to make money. Let's face it, there, it's 490 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: it's everybody's got to eat, and you know it's it's 491 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: it's a problem. And the technology now, you know, I 492 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: think about it all the time. A young kid comes 493 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: out of trade school, he'll be he'll be thirty five 494 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars in debt after two years. Then he's 495 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: got to go buy a toolbox and some basic tools 496 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: and he's going to spend probably twenty five thirty grand. There, 497 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: you're one hundred grand into this industry and you haven't 498 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: even fixed one car yet. 499 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: You know you can. 500 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: You can go down and be a plumber and learn 501 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: the trade twenty bucks an hour and you're using the 502 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: tools that your grandfather used eighty years ago, you know. 503 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: And it's a boiler still a boiler. So it's you know, 504 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: it's it's it's interesting. We'll see where it goes, Satwinder, 505 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: when we come back. This will be our last pause. 506 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: But when we come back, I want to talk a 507 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: little bit. I know you've had conversations. You were you 508 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: were talking about the use of robots to repair cars. 509 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: If we can, if you could touch on that a 510 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: little bit for the audience and then maybe talk about 511 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: some of the challenges you see coming forward in twenty 512 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: twenty three, and we'll we'll, we'll, we'll round out our 513 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: conversation there. 514 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: So stay tight, stay put. 515 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm running any in the Car Doctor here with Satwinder 516 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Manget of All Data, and we'll both return right after this. 517 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 6: Don't go away. 518 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back Grinnie and the Car Doctor here today with 519 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: Setwinder Mangot of All Data. 520 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: He's the president of All Data. We're happy to have 521 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 2: him here with us this hour, Set Winder. 522 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: When we pulled away for the pause, robots, is the 523 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: day coming when a robot is going to fix somebody's car. 524 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: It's still a long way, Ron means, but definitely it's 525 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: coming at some point in near future, not too far 526 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 3: in the near future. That albeit did not doing all 527 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 3: the repairs, but I can envision some of the simplest 528 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 3: repairs that you can use the guidance guided diagnostics to 529 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 3: do that. I mean, Ron, look at this from the 530 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 3: fundamental level. We have almost more than we talked about 531 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: labor shortage. We have more than four point five million 532 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: jobs still available. If we're not finding. It's an entire industry, right, 533 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 3: not only the technician side of it, but total our workforce. 534 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: When that's the problem, business is going to start looking 535 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 3: for more automation, right, and the robots is going to 536 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 3: play a role. Right twenty years ago. When robots starts 537 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 3: coming thirty years ago, people are scared it's going to 538 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: take my job. No, it's not. It's if you look 539 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: into the warehouses another place where a lot of robots 540 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: are user. This time, it helps you. It elevates your job. 541 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 3: It can do the simple task for you, and then 542 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 3: you can focus on more better things to do. So 543 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 3: it came into medicine, right. Their surgery is done by robots. 544 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 3: Now you can control it sitting someplace else. So same 545 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: thing will happen in the industry too, and our industry too, 546 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 3: where technicians more complicated repairs. Somebody is sitting someplace can 547 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 3: do those repairs using those row parts. So I think 548 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: the time is coming. It's still I would say it's 549 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 3: not going to happen within a few years to maybe five. 550 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: It's going to happen, right, and it's going to start 551 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 3: with simple, basic repairs and then it will continue to 552 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: evolve using that AI which is artificial intelligence, which is 553 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 3: also looking at AR, which is augmented reality, virtual reality. 554 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 3: All those things combining will make it easier to fix 555 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: the car. So to your earlier point, it's going to 556 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 3: be the new younger generation coming into the workforce enjoying 557 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: that work because now they can use technology and still 558 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: have a fun doing their pairs. But some kind of 559 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 3: guided diagnostic. 560 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 2: And I can and I can see that. 561 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: You know that's there's augmented reality, there's virtual reality. I 562 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: see the day when they're going to be wearing the 563 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: goggles and the all data. 564 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 2: Information will be right in front of them. 565 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: The wiring diagram will be live, and they'll be tracing 566 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: it out, looking at the car and figuring out where 567 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: they are. And as the information as you evolve. I've 568 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: seen demonstrations of it where you're you're looking at under 569 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: the hood, you're looking at the water pump, and it 570 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: knows you're looking at the water pump, and it brings up, 571 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: here's how you changed the water pump. Here's how you 572 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: changed the belt, Here's how you and it's it's right there, 573 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: right in front of you, and you know, the complexity 574 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: of the car is going to demand it you know, 575 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: I think that's there, you know, so that's that's what's 576 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: going on there. Hey, let's let's pull over for one 577 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: more segment if we could. I want you to think 578 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: about this real quick, and we're gonna have a couple 579 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: of minutes when we come back. 580 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: The biggest challenge is, you know. 581 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: Facing the shops in twenty twenty three, if you had 582 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: to sum it up, you know what, what can they do? 583 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: What should they be aware of? You know, and maybe 584 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: some of the things that all Dad is doing to 585 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: help counteract that. You guys are one of the leaders 586 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: in the industry, if not the leader, and we look 587 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: to you for answers for beyond information. We know you 588 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: guys are taking the reins on some of these things. 589 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: So whatever you can provide them with, we would appreciate it. 590 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm here with Satwinder Mangot of all data. I'm running 591 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: ning in the car Doctor. We'll both return right after this. 592 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 6: Don't go away it. 593 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: Welcome back, ronin An in the card doctor. Here with presidents, 594 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: Satwinder Mangot of all Data. Sat Winder, I've got I've 595 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: got three questions in four minutes, so let me let 596 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: me knock them out. For you the biggest challenge facing 597 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: repair shops in twenty twenty three. In a minute, what 598 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: are your thoughts? 599 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 3: I think two two challenges. I would say one is 600 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 3: the shop profitability. They're looking at their cost is labor 601 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 3: cost is going up, their cost of tools are going up. 602 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: The car complexity is going higher and higher. So they're 603 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: concerned about their shop profitability. And that's why tools are 604 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 3: very important. To make sure they use tools, they do 605 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,239 Speaker 3: the right information, they fix the car properly. Is they 606 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 3: fix more because if they can use two tools to 607 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 3: make sure they reduce the cycle time. So that's one. 608 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 3: The second one to me is the labor shortage. I 609 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 3: wasn't visiting customers last week too, and everybody that I 610 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 3: talked to they're running through the same problem. They don't 611 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 3: have enough technicians, they don't they don't know what to do. 612 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,239 Speaker 3: Many of them thinking of closing the shops. So this 613 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 3: will be in their labor shortage. But the only way 614 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 3: to overcome that is to make sure you hire good people. 615 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 3: And if you hire, if you have people, provide them training, 616 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 3: use the right tools, and make sure you keep the 617 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 3: customers happy from your on the shop side by fixing 618 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 3: the cars properly, right. 619 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: So real quick and okay. Four questions three D printing. 620 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: Do you see the day when three D printing? Oh, 621 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: we need to make this tool in the shop and 622 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: we'll make the tool. 623 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 3: I think it's it's as you know, means the three 624 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 3: D printing is evolving and you can go to your 625 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: kind of a shop or someplace which does the three 626 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 3: D printing so that you can go get that tool. 627 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 3: But there are more things involved in there. So I 628 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 3: think it is evolving every shop, yes, would every shop 629 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 3: will have three D printers, know, but they will have 630 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: a close by three D printers where you can go 631 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 3: and print it out right right? 632 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. 633 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: What will all data be focusing on in twenty twenty 634 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: three in a minute. 635 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 3: Yes, and we're focusing on providing more predictive maintenance tools. 636 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 2: Now. 637 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 3: I think, as I talked, we have more data than 638 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 3: anybody else in the industry, both looking from our data 639 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 3: and AutoZone perspective. So we're using that data to do 640 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 3: some of the insights, right, providing insight what component is 641 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 3: going to fail within ten thousand miles, what are the 642 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 3: probable causes, and what can we help you what part 643 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 3: needs to be so place. So we're getting information from 644 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 3: our enterprise, from our customers and other places, and we're 645 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 3: building those tools to help our technicians, whether through the 646 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: tools in there, we're connecting also the tools more and 647 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 3: more so predictive maintenance is our focus. We're going to 648 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 3: do more on that. We're going to publish the content 649 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: as soon as we can, and then we are going 650 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 3: to connect these tools, which is scan tools, your show 651 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 3: management system, your repair information you're marketing into one so 652 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 3: that it helps you to see the workflow much better. 653 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you thirty seconds to talk about 654 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: all data. Find a fix because we didn't even touch 655 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: on that.
