A 1962 Dodge Power Wagon panel truck went into a shop in Ohio. What came out 14 months later was five vehicles' worth of parts welded into one truck — roof chopped four inches, su***de doors, stretched chassis, custom flat bed, 37s, and a 1,000+hp Hellephant sitting where a flathead six used to live 🚚💨

27 guys built it. Over 10,000 hours. Barrett-Jackson sold it in Scottsdale for $1.5 million and every dollar went to scholarships for the next generation of tradespeople 🙌

Great story. Now the uncomfortable version of it 👀

Every dealer who says recon is the bottleneck usually means one person is the bottleneck — the one tech, the one detailer, the one body guy who turns an ugly trade into a front-line unit. He books off for a week and the 90-day clock keeps running on everything parked behind the shop 🕐

Nobody is auctioning a $1.5M truck to solve that. But a few things cost nothing:

☑️ One co-op spot, offered to the local college's automotive program before winter intake 🎓 ☑️ A job ad that shows the bay instead of saying "detailer wanted" 📩 ☑️ The tech's name on the recon notes the customer reads ✅ ☑️ Paying for the licence upgrade before the lot down the road does 💵

(Worth noting the mikeroweWORKS scholarships are American — the Canadian version of this is the college campus down the highway 🇨🇦)

Ideas like these are free. Knowing which unit has been sitting 90 days waiting on a bay is the part www.dealerpull.com handles.

So — has anyone actually pulled a good tech out of a college co-op, and did they stay? Or is the shortage just the cost of doing business now? 🤔

🎥 Royalty Auto Service put out a breakdown of GM's 6.2L engine mess this week, and there's a used-car angle in it that's worth two minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH4EwmOsNW0

Quick refresher 🚨

GM recalled about 50,000 Canadian trucks and SUVs over the 6.2L L87 — 2021 to 2024 Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade. Bad connecting rods and crankshafts. Engines seizing, sometimes at highway speed.

Here's the part that matters on a used lot 👇

Only about 3% of those trucks got a new engine. The other 97% got an oil change — thicker 0W-40, new oil cap, note in the owner's manual 🛢️

And now NHTSA has escalated to an engineering analysis covering roughly 998,000 GM trucks and SUVs, 2021 through 2026, because engines are still failing after the recall work. 499 complaints on file: 473 of them on oil-change trucks, 26 on trucks that got a whole new engine 😳 GM's own count of post-repair complaints is closer to 7,000. There are also 191 reports from engines built after the original recall's cutoff date, which is why 2025s and 2026s got pulled into the investigation.

That's an American escalation, to be clear — Transport Canada hasn't followed 🇨🇦 But it's the same engine, and these trucks are moving through Canadian auctions every week.

So three things worth doing 🤓

1️⃣ Know which units are 6.2L. The 5.3L, the 2.7L turbo and the Duramax aren't in this at all, and half the confusion comes from people treating every full-size GM the same way ✅

2️⃣ Get the VIN run at a GM store. A public recall lookup tells you a campaign exists — it doesn't tell you whether that truck got an oil change or a long block. Get the repair order and staple it into the deal file 📄

3️⃣ Flip the framing on the good ones. A documented engine replacement is the better truck now, and GM's special coverage runs 10 years or 240,000 km from the original in-service date and follows the vehicle to the next owner 💵 That belongs on the window sticker, not buried.

One caution, that's it: if the remedy can't be confirmed, don't guess for a customer. "Getting that confirmed" beats a wrong answer 👍

Knowing which unit is which — engine, build date, paperwork attached to the stock number — is the unglamorous part the DealerPull DMS handles.

Now the real questions 🤔 Has anyone actually had a buyer bring this up on the lot? Does a documented new engine help sell the truck, or does raising it kill the deal? And has anybody adjusted what they'll pay for a 6.2L at the auction because of it? 👇

🎥 Something fun for a Monday.

Donut Media bought two $800 trucks off Facebook Marketplace and pointed them up the Dalton Highway — 414 miles of mostly gravel, over Atigun Pass, past the Arctic Circle, all the way to Deadhorse where the Alaska road system runs out ❄️🚚

Donut always makes great content and this one is a proper laugh 😂

So, the important question for anyone with a lot full of trade-ins 👇

1️⃣ Would the oldest unit on the property have made it? 2️⃣ Which one dies first, and at what mile marker? 🔧 3️⃣ Which be**er quietly gets there without a single complaint? 🙌

Every store has both. The clean-looking one that strands somebody in the first hour, and the ugly one that refuses to quit 🚗

Grab a coffee and watch it ☕👀

$250. About a minute. And a 2012 Silverado has CarPlay 🚗📱

Screen sticks to the dash, plugs into the 12V, audio runs through the factory stereo. Nothing comes apart, nothing gets wired in. A truck with a little orange radio display is suddenly running maps, music and hands-free calling on a 10-inch screen 🤯

Worth a thought at any used car store 👀

The units that sit longest aren't the beat-up ones. They're the clean, solid, ten-year-old cars that feel old the moment a customer sits down. That's the moment the walk-around goes quiet. For roughly what a detail costs, that moment changes 💵

The obvious move is to install one before the car hits the line. Don't do that 🙅

Sell the car, let the buyer know the accessory exists, and let them look into it on their own if they want it. They pick it, they mount it, they decide where it goes. The store keeps the closing power and stays out of the rest 👍

Not a promotion. No affiliation. Not a DealerPull clip either — full credit to the original creator 🎥

Worth kicking around at the next sales meeting 👇

Would it move that car that's been sitting since spring? 🙋 Is it a nice touch, or a gimmick a buyer sees straight through? And is it something to mention on the lot, or leave for the customer to find on their own?

Good ideas are cheap. Knowing which unit has been sitting 90 days is the harder part 🇨🇦 www.dealerpull.com

📣 Check out our latest ! 🚗

It's all about Facebook Marketplace — why it's such a great free place for Canadian used car dealers to advertise, and how our new Auto-Fill tool takes the work out of posting to it 🙌

👉 https://www.dealerpull.com/blog-posts/facebook-marketplace-for-canadian-used-car-dealers-why-it-works-and-how-to-stop-posting-manually

The audience is massive 🌎 Over 1.1 billion people use Marketplace every month, roughly 1 in 3 Facebook users browse listings in a given month, vehicles are one of the busiest categories on there, and posting costs you absolutely nothing. It's a free audience sitting right alongside AutoTrader, Kijiji and CarGurus 💵

Here's what the Facebook Marketplace Auto-Fill tool does for you 👇

1️⃣ Pick a vehicle and the whole listing fills itself in — description, specs, pricing and photos, straight from your Dealerpull inventory record ⚡ 2️⃣ Your photos upload automatically, no digging through your phone 📸 3️⃣ Keywords ride along on the end of the Model field so you catch more searches. Ex. 2025 Honda Civic - Leather / Sunroof / Clean Carfax / 1 Owner! 🔍 4️⃣ Emojis right in the ad, so your listing pops as buyers scroll 😀 5️⃣ A new column in your inventory list shows when each unit was last posted — one glance and you know exactly what to post next 📋 6️⃣ Video is landing very shortly, running right alongside your photos 🎥

Minutes per vehicle turn into seconds, and every ad matches the car perfectly, because it's all coming from the record you already built ✅ Price changed this morning? That's the price that posts.

And it's compliant by design, which we're genuinely proud of 👍 We never ask for your Facebook credentials, we don't store them, and we never log into your account. No bot, nothing happening behind your back. You open Marketplace, see the listing already filled in, tweak anything you like, and hit publish yourself. Your listing, your account, your call 🙌 (Facebook's terms of service still apply — our help article has the best practices, it's a five-minute read.)

More units live, more buyers, more cars sold 🚗💨

🚨 Brand new from DealerPull: post your inventory to Facebook Marketplace in seconds 🚗💻

Our Chrome extension is out now for Canadian used car dealers. Here's what it does 👇

1️⃣ Auto-fills the entire listing — photos, ad description, price, year, make, model, trim, mileage. You're not typing any of it 🤓 2️⃣ Posts straight from your DealerPull inventory, so the listing matches the DMS instead of matching whatever got copied over at 4pm on a Friday ⏱️ 3️⃣ Shows you which vehicles have already been posted to Marketplace, right in your inventory list view — no more guessing what's live and what isn't 👀 4️⃣ Kills the copy-paste mistakes. Wrong price, wrong trim, wrong mileage, photos from the unit beside it — all of that goes away ✅ 5️⃣ More units listed, listed faster, in front of the buyers already shopping Marketplace every day 💵

Marketplace is where Canadian used car buyers actually look. The problem was never whether to post there — it was how long it took to do it properly for every unit on the lot 🙌

💰 $49 + tax per month. It's an add-on, so you'll need a regular DealerPull account to attach it to.

Ask us for your free demo, or sign up at dealerpull.com and get instant access 🇨🇦

Something fun for a Friday 👇 All 70 units sold before anyone outside Koenigsegg had laid eyes on the car 🤯

The CCGT1 landed at Pebble Beach this month — a road-legal tribute to the GT1 racer Koenigsegg finished in 2007 and never got to race, because the FIA rewrote the rulebook two months into testing. Twenty years later they built the road version instead 👻

Alex at Supercar Blondie walked through it, and the striking part isn't the power figure 🎥

1️⃣ The fuel gauge is built into the nose — two red lights that drop as the tank empties 🛢️ 2️⃣ The white bodywork is "Ghost Fibre," a carbon-aramid weave that's brutally difficult to produce 3️⃣ Dials are fully analog, G-meter included 🤓 4️⃣ There's a dedicated holder in the cabin for the key 5️⃣ Sequential shifter, manual paddles, and you still need the clutch to engage first ⚙️

1,280 hp on pump gas and 1,600 on E85 is the headline. The details are what people actually talked about 👀

Here's the part that applies to a Canadian lot 🇨🇦

You can't out-spec anybody. Four dealers within an hour of you are listing the same year, same trim, same km band, same colour. The number on the window sticker is the least differentiated thing you own.

What you can control is everything around it 👇

📸 Photo count and photo quality 📝 Recon disclosed in writing instead of "safety done" 📩 A reply that lands in minutes, not tomorrow 🗂️ History, work orders and docs sitting on the unit where a salesperson can find them mid-conversation

That last one is unglamorous and it's most of the job — keeping every piece of a vehicle's story attached to the vehicle. It's a good chunk of what we built at dealerpull.com.

Detail is what sold 70 hypercars nobody had seen. It's also what sells the third-cheapest Elantra in your market.

Have a great weekend everyone 🙌

🚨 Google Search now has a button that says "Have AI get prices." 🤖

A customer who needs an oil change 🛢️ taps it, picks their make and model 🚗, says how soon they need it ⏱️ — and Google's AI calls every shop in the area for them 📞 Then it emails them a tidy list 📩: who answered, what they quoted, and when they're available.

The shop that came out on top in Matt Diamante's test? 🤔 It wasn't on the first page of Google Maps. It wasn't in the organic results either.

A human there answered the phone when Google's AI dialed ✅ That alone put it first 🙌

Think about the flip side 👀 If your service line rings out to voicemail at 2pm on a Tuesday, you don't rank lower in that email — you're not in it at all. The customer never learns you exist, and you never see the lead, because it never became one 👻

Three quick checks for your store this week 👇
📞 Who answers the service line midday?
💵 Can they quote a standard job on the spot?
🌙 Where does the call go after 5pm?

Live in the U.S. now. Canada is next 🇨🇦

🏭 Tesla's new Austin assembly line is unlike anything the car industry has built before. Giga Press castings, an unboxed Cybercab line that assembles sections in parallel, and 🤖 humanoid robots being tested on the factory floor.

The build process is impressive. What happens downstream is the bigger question. 🚕 If self driving fleets take over the commuter car, the retail side built on trade-ins, financing and service work looks very different.

Real shift, or still a long way off? 👇
