  • Auto Industry Collapse 2025: The Truth They Don’t Want You to Know

    Auto Industry Collapse 2025: The Truth They Don’t Want You to Know
    2025/10/10
    Imagine dropping your car off for a simple repair — brakes, thermostat, or routine service — and weeks go by in silence. When the call finally comes, you’re told the job’s done… and you’re one of the lucky ones.
    This isn’t fiction. It’s the harsh reality for millions across North America as the $2.8 trillion auto industry unravels in real time.
    In this episode, we break down how the 2025 automotive crash shattered supply chains, triggered parts shortages, and left repair shops across the country struggling to survive. You’ll see why even industry giants like Ford — despite record revenues — are pointing fingers at a national shortage of skilled mechanics.
