Podcast: What to Expect in the Future Auto Aftermarket

Schwartz Advisors' Derek Kaufman shares what to expect in the auto industry of the future.

Of all the changes the automotive aftermarket has faced over its more than a century of life, that past 40 years have been a whirlwind. We’ve seen typewriters transition to mainframes to laptops; we’ve witnessed the eventual embrace of fuel injection and anti-lock brakes; we’ve seen OBDII and the internet come and pagers and faxes go. Through it all, everyone from parts manufacturers to distributors and shop owners have adapted.

Listen to “The Future Of The Automotive Industry May Not Be What We Were Promised” on Spreaker.

In this episode, Doug Kaufman, editor of ShopOwner grills Derek Kaufman, managing partner at Schwartz Advisors, about what we can expect in the automotive industry in the future. As it turns out, that future is both closer and more amazing than you may imagine.

Talking Shop With ShopOwner is sponsored by AAPEX, the premier automotive industry networking and educational event. To get more information about the 2023 AAPEX show, to be held this year in Las Vegas, October 31 through November 2, visit AAPEX.
