      Companion to the PE thread in General Discussion. Specifically for owners and managers — what’s actually working?

      The PE shops have the call volume, the marketing budget, and the financing offers. Independents have the relationships, the techs, and the reputation. But “”we’re local and we care”” isn’t cutting it like it used to.

      What are you doing that’s actually growing your shop in 2026?
