Ted Ings' Fixed Ops Roundtable®

The conversation around parts is changing — fast. For years, parts departments quietly powered dealership profitability while sales and service took center stage. But on Ted Ings' Fixed Ops Roundtable® the spotlight has finally shifted. Kaylee Felio🌻 joined Ted Ings, Sarah Vantine, Allie Peters, Michael Weldon, and Ellen Rhoades🎉🎊 to dig into what’s happening across the industry right now — and why leaders are finally treating parts as a strategic growth engine. Here’s the big takeaway: Parts aren’t back-office anymore. They’re front-and-center in driving customer loyalty, long-term service work, and steady revenue.

How did Integrity Cost Consulting really begin? In this short clip from my conversation with Ted Ings and Sarah Vantine at the Fixed Ops Roundtable, I shared the story behind ICC — and why my background led me to build a firm focused on transparency, vendor accountability, and true partnership. What started as a simple idea has grown into a mission: help leaders improve and protect their profit without changing vendors or paying upfront fees. 🎥 Full interview link in the comment section. #IntegrityCostConsulting #FixedOpsRoundtable #LeadershipJourney #EntrepreneurStory #VendorAccountability #ProfitProtection

Some manufacturers may promise a guaranteed CPI increase of 4% or 5% for the next three years if you sign up for a long-term contract. But here’s the thing: you’re not locked in! State laws trump any agreement you have with the manufacturer. Even if you're a year or two into it, if CPI no longer makes sense or if inflation forces you to raise rates by $20-$30 per hour, you can still submit for a warranty uplift. Don’t let misconceptions hold you back—watch the video to learn more about how you can take control of your pricing and stay competitive. Get the assistance you need from the experts who truly understand the ins and outs of your business. Let’s strategize together and make this your best year yet!
