A short YouTube clip (SDR #325 CLIP 1) featuring Chris Collins and another speaker. They discuss business opportunities for Ford dealers following a recall of 56,000 Ford F-150s — advising dealers to use the recall as an excuse to invite vehicles in for inspection, with a claim that ~80% currently go to independent shops, representing recoverable business. The clip ends with a humorous anecdote about bathroom-stall graffiti and the decline of such markings.

And Ford recalled 56,000F 150s.
If you're a Ford dealer, that is a chance to get people back that you haven't seen in a month.
Do an inspection and make friends.
Yeah. That's 80%.
Of them are going to an independent shop. You could get them back.
That's right. It's the way.
Use the recall as an excuse.
Yeah.

And also here at Service Drive Revolution, we like to make sure that we provide good information. And I came up, I had an epiphany that happened to me a week ago and I wanted to give this advice to our listeners and viewers just because it just didn't surprise me a little bit. Don't, don't believe everything you read in bathroom stalls. Sharon was not ready for a good time and it was a very awkward conversation.
Don't you miss the good old days when people wrote in bathroom stalls? Right.
Like nobody's.
When's the last time you were in a bathroom stall that there was anything written?
It's been way too long.
Yeah.
I think I'm just start putting like Sharpie markers out.
Is that because it doesn't happen anymore or just like where we live?
I don't know. I feel like if it was going to happen, it would happen. Well, I don't go public bathrooms here.
