Dave Foy's Linkedin Analytics

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks - but after four decades of revolutionizing fixed ops, I've proven that you can teach new tricks to an entire industry. From turning wrenches to turning around dealerships, I've been the automotive industry's resident "positive disruptor," helping fixed operations departments break free from the "we've always done it this way" mindset. Think of me as part master technician, part business strategist, and part future-proofer - minus the crystal ball, plus real-world innovation. I've guided countless service, parts, and body shop operations from "business as usual" to "business as exceptional," leveraging everything from AI to human intelligence (yes, we still need that!). My secret sauce? Mixing deep technical expertise with people-first leadership and a heap of unconventional thinking. I believe that the best innovations often start with someone asking, "What if we tried it differently?" - and I've made a career out of being that someone. Fixed Ops Mastermind was born out of Dave's vision to gather industry leaders and share knowledge. Recognizing the need for a platform where professionals could connect and learn from each other, Dave pioneered the use of Zoom for his mastermind sessions before it became a household name during the pandemic. This forward-thinking approach positioned Fixed Ops Mastermind as an innovative force in the industry. Core specialties: Transforming fixed ops from cost centers to profit powerhouses Developing next-gen talent (without a time machine) Reimagining training for the digital age Creating high-performance cultures that actually enjoy performing highly Implementing AI solutions (while keeping the robots friendly) My mission? Leaving the industry better than I found it - one innovative idea, one transformed department, and one "I never thought of it that way" moment at a time. P.S. If you're looking for conventional wisdom, you might want to keep scrolling. But if you're ready to see fixed ops in a whole new light, you're in the right place.
