Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS This episode features Alex and Bob Saladna, father and son founders of WickedFile, as they share how their software helps auto repair shops boost profitability by tracking parts, returns, and credits. WickedFile uncovers hidden losses from uncredited returns, missing parts, and even employee theft. A standout feature, Navigator, is an AI assistant that answers questions about shop data, offering insights into declined jobs, inventory, and customer trends. The system also streamlines audits and generates custom reports, freeing up shop owners to focus on growth. Whether you're looking to reduce losses or gain better control of your business, this episode offers practical, high-impact tools for shop success. Alex and Bob Saladna, WickedFile Show Notes
