The average vehicle on the road today is over 12 years old, and the vehicle parc is at a record level. This drove Cox Automotive to touch on the topic in their 2022 predictions.

I often walk into a dealership for the first time and ask if they think they are in compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations. Their answer's surprising.

No other part of a dealership can compare to the service department in terms of moving parts. I mean that both figuratively and literally. For as many nuts, bolts, pistons, panels, plugs, and springs your service team handles, there’s an almost equal amount of rules and regulations to follow.
