Beyond the Wrench

The Walser Way: Part 1

Jay Goninen

For the first time, we took the Beyond the Wrench Podcast live on social media with our friends at Walser Automotive Group. In this episode, we explore how Walser has earned its reputation as one of the nation’s top dealership employers. We dive into their “People Strategy,” how they engage technicians in community recruitment, and how they create clear career paths for technicians.

Stay tuned—part two goes live next week!
