Turn It Around: Darrell Weddell on Growing a 7-Figure Shop, Hiring Right, and Staying Community-First
from Honest Garage Podcast · host David Laird, Paul Regalado, Darrell Weddell
Darrell Weddell is the kind of operator who doesn't chase hype, he builds the business brick by brick. 🚗 https://hinsdaleauto.com/ In this episode, Darrell shares how he took a struggling Hinsdale Automotive in Littleton, Colorado and steadily turned it into a 7-figure shop known for honest diagnostics, clear communication, and top-quality work on both gas and diesel. He talks about the real path that led him there, tech school, dealership experience, independent shops, even time supporting a construction fleet, and the moment he realized shop ownership wasn't just a dream, it was a plan. You'll also hear Darrell get practical about what actually matters at the growth stage: building systems knowledge, tightening your process, making smarter marketing decisions, and approaching hiring like a long-term investment, not a panic move. If you're trying to scale without losing your standards (or your sanity), this one delivers. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations with real shop owners. ➡️ https://honestmechanicmarketing.com/
