‘Disruption’ is a word we’ve grown accustomed to in the 21st century as technological advancements have changed the way we do many things in our daily lives. And in the process there’s been collateral damage in the form of consigning to the dustbin of history jobs, everyday items and in some cases entire ways of life.

On this week’s Plugged In podcast episode, we explore how the very technologies that make electric vehicles enticing on so many levels might make your neighbourhood auto repair shop a thing of the past in the coming years.

Our guest is Lou Trottier, who as the owner-operator of All About Imports in Mississauga, Ontario deals with this issue almost daily, and has written about the encroaching ‘right to repair’ issue in the automotive business.
