Matt Clawson has spent more than fifteen years running his own repair shop, and in All Automotive with Matt Clawson, he turns that deep, practical knowledge into conversations that go far beyond simple how-tos. This podcast feels like pulling up a stool in a busy garage where the topics range from the gritty realities of small business ownership to the passionate pursuit of restoring a classic car. You’ll hear specific, actionable advice, like a detailed checklist for evaluating a used vehicle or a frank discussion on whether an extended warranty is worth the cost. Each episode is built on real-world experience, stripping away industry jargon to talk about cars, trucks, and the business behind them in a way that’s useful whether you’re a weekend tinkerer, a potential entrepreneur, or just someone who wants to make smarter decisions as a car owner. The perspective here is unique because it’s not just about commentary; it’s lessons learned from the shop floor, making this a genuinely practical resource for anyone with an automotive hobby or business interest. Tune in for a straightforward, honest take on everything from engine diagnostics to managing a customer service desk, all delivered with the clarity of someone who’s been under the hood and behind the ledger.
