THE DRIVE EXPO 2026 SCHEDULE IS OFFICIALLY HERE

Three days. Las Vegas. The most powerful event in the automotive industry is coming and we are not holding back. This is where shop owners show up, level up and walk away with the tools, the strategies and the fire to completely transform their business.

We are talking packed sessions, world class presentations, real conversations and real results. From how to survive a tech shortage to cracking the car count code to stopping the cash flow bleed in your shop once and for all. DRIVE EXPO 2026 is built for owners who are done playing small.

Pre Expo Edge workshops kick off September 22 and 23 so you can hit the ground running before the main event even starts. Then September 24 through 26 we take over the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas for three days of learning, connecting and celebrating everything you have built and everything you are about to become.

Flip through the full schedule in the graphic above and start planning your days NOW. Every session is an opportunity you do not want to miss so look through it carefully and come ready.

Own Your Future. Build the Business You Deserve.

Grab your spot today at drive-expo.com and we will see you in Vegas!

In this article by Carolyn Gray, published by BodyShop Business, the focus is on one of the most important shifts happening in collision repair today: building operational systems that replace chaos with consistency and reactive leadership with intentional process.

This feature explores how many shop owners are discovering that a packed schedule doesn't automatically mean a profitable one and how the real competitive advantage lies in standardized workflows, clear communication and structured repair planning that keeps production moving smoothly regardless of the pressures of the day. The article also explains how strong operational systems reduce emotional decision-making, improve employee confidence, strengthen customer trust and create the kind of measurable, scalable performance that supports long-term growth.

Read the full article and evaluate where your shop is running on hustle versus running on process and what building stronger systems could mean for your team, your customers and your bottom line: https://driveshops.com/profit-by-process/
