Official "Friends" of theCarGuy; awesome each and every one!
Kruse Kontrol
I hate to admit it this but, even though I work on the Internet all day long I am really no where near what you might call an 'expert' in online stuff like Social Media or Web Reputation etc, etc, etc... LUCKILY, a friend of mine is! Not only is Kathi Kruse amazing in all things online, she also has over 20 years experience with car dealerships! She bridges the canyon that runs between car dogs like me and computer geeks like I try to be! Her knowledge of all things digital and her experience in things auto make Kruse Kontrol a daily must read for me and also make her the best ally for you and your business in today's fight to stay ahead online! For many years now we have had regular conversations about the car biz and state of things in automotive and recently we figured why not start a podcast? You can check out our show, The First Pencil HERE and if you click the pic you can follow her on Twitter HERE!

Danny Whitfield
I have been a huge fan of Mr Whitfields work for a long time and two of his prints myself and I cannot begin to count the number of compliments I get when people see them! From his website....
"Danny Whitfield was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, “Auto Capital of the World, He brought his vision of art and cars to the fore front and has been the key artist in making automotive art a respected form in the industry. Whitfield has a magical ability to bring out the beauty of an automobile and expression vividly onto canvas. He has the ability to paint and draw and does many forms of art from scenic, architectural, to portrait images. However his affinity and love for automobile is his first love. Ever since he was five years old he’s been drawing cars. This is his passion!"

K & N Filters
You know em... you love em... you NEED one! Yes I know, shameless but whatev its MY site! I have worked with the awesome folks at K&N for years and have a FIP kit on every car I have had for the last 15 years plus. Not all performance upgrades are just to go faster either, a nice by product of efficiency is increased fuel mileage and believe me the 72 miles i was driving each way made me remember how much difference even just a filter kit can make!
UpdatePromise
When it comes to service department management solutions there is simply none better than the tools built by the awesome folks at UpdatePromise! The automotive DMS company DealerBuilt has been so impressed with them that they have fully embedded their suite of texting, scheduling and tablet check-in tools into their system! When I started in the car biz back in 1987 I was a tune-up and drivability tech and I cannot imagine running a service department today with the awesome technology of UpdatePromise!
