In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #358, Chris, Hogi, and Adam dive into a controversial trend: dealerships using social media to make fun of their own customers. We also follow up on a massive career question (promotions) from our @YouTube community regarding the value of a degree versus actual "saddle time" on the service drive.
