AI isn’t coming for your job… but the dealer down the street using it might be. In this episode of True Confessions of a Car Guy, we break down why AI isn’t some Silicon Valley buzzword—it’s the next competitive edge on the lot. From follow-ups that actually happen, to smarter pricing, to knowing which customers are real buyers and which ones are just bored at work, we talk about how AI is quietly changing how deals get done. Old-school hustle still matters—but in the future, the smartest dealerships won’t just work harder, they’ll work smarter.
