    Where car dealers are leaving money on the table

    14/09/2026 | 29 mins.
    With used car margins under pressure, finding extra profit is becoming harder — but that doesn't mean the opportunities have disappeared.
    In this special Car Dealer Podcast for Profit Clinic Week, James Batchelor speaks to Dealer Auction, Autoglym, Warranty Solutions Group and TekCor4 about where dealers can make more from the business they are already doing.
    From buying the right stock and knowing when to move it on, to making more from added-value products, protecting margin after the sale and converting customers who slipped through the net, this episode looks at the practical ways dealers can squeeze more profit from every stage of the used car journey.
