Dealersedge Fixed Ops
Rob Kealey spent forty years inside automotive fixed operations, consulting for Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Kia, and this book reads like the notes of someone who has seen what works and what does not across hundreds of service departments. The focus is practical: reduce variation in Fixed Ops transactions, boost service department profitability, and apply consistent best practices across the board. DealersEdge is a credible specialist publisher in automotive retail management, which gives the material a professional home. The honest limitation is that EV adoption, digital retailing, and remote diagnostics have shifted the landscape considerably since 2016. Service managers should treat this as a strong foundation to build on, not the last word on the subject.
