On The Drive

Ep. 63 - Warranty Goodwill: The Art Of The Assist (with Dave Rogers)

• Cindy Lawrence

From fried wires (thanks, neighborhood squirrels 🐿️) to those “oops” repairs that don’t quite fit the warranty box, Cindy and Dave break down when dealerships step up—even if the coverage technically doesn’t.

Whether it’s a split bill, a friendly favor, or a behind-the-scenes push from your advisor, this episode reminds us that a loyal customer, a good attitude, and a weird accident can still earn you some love.

🔧 Under the Hood This Week:

  • What qualifies as goodwill (hint: it’s not magic—it’s strategy)
  • In-warranty but not warrantable? Yep, that’s a thing
  • Why your advisor might just be your ride-or-die 🏁
  • The CSI factor—being nice does pay off
  • And why goodwill isn’t a guarantee... but it is a game-changer

If it’s good for the customer, good for the dealership, and good for the brand—it’s go-time. Buckle up. This one’s got heart, horsepower, and a few rodent-related surprises.
