Show Notes

In this episode, we sit down with Igor Soykher, co-founder of GT Performance, Inc., a legendary shop that has been servicing Porsches in the greater Baltimore area for 30 years.  Igor gives us a frank, honest, and unfiltered look at the reality of the auto repair industry today.  We dive deep into the modern challenges shop owners face that didn't even exist five or ten years ago—from the struggle to recruit and retain qualified technicians to the massive hurdle of keeping up with Porsche’s rapidly evolving technology.  If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the garage doors of a top-tier independent specialist, you won't want to miss this insider perspective!
