We recently sat down for a fireside chat with John Forro, aka Electron John. John is a thought leader in our space and is an expert in various new automotive repair technologies. In this wide-ranging discussion, we cover John's background and how he embraces change, ADAS calibrations and shop liability, aftermarket versus OEM diagnostic tools, getting started with ADAS calibrations, EVs and their service opportunities, and training for the industry broadly. The ADAS Podcast is dedicated to making you a better technician, manager, or owner, for listening while you're working or commuting. Some topics covered include:

• Getting started with ADAS service: Practical entry points for smaller shops and how to scale up profitably. John highlights the absolute best Return-On-Investment for a shop.
• Tool strategy that works: OEM vs aftermarket diagnostics and how to balance cost, coverage, and accuracy. 
• The EV opportunity: What “battery balancing” means—and why it could become a major service category. 
• The mindset advantage: Why continuous learning and technical curiosity are the new essentials for shop growth, and what motivates John to keep learning about new technologies.     

About the guest: John Forro is an ASE Master/advanced tech, award-winning toolmaker, and instructor who’s trained hundreds across ADAS and EV diagnostics.
