GLANCDA and Bozzani Volk-swagen of Covina present $10000.00 donation to Citrus College Automotive Program

The Citrus College Automotive Technolo-gy Program has been recognized by sev-eral new car manufacturers as one of the strongest programs in the nation. It offers classes in the latest technologies avail-

able in the automotive service industry. In-depth training prepares its students for an entry-level job or enables them to upgrade their job skills if cur-rently employed. In the classroom they learn the theoretical aspects of automotive diagnosis, repair and service. They then apply what is learned while working on cars in the Citrus College shop. Stu-dents have the opportunity to gain experience by working at a sponsoring auto shop or dealer while enrolled at Citrus.

The Citrus College Automotive program is experi-encing a growth phase in both enrollment and suc-cess measures for the 2019-20 academic year! The current student enrollment is nearing 200 students. The award from GLANCDA serves as validation of these efforts, and will be used to expand the offer-ings related to the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3). They will be purchasing the on-car brake-lathe certification kit as well as the tire pres-sure monitoring systems (TPMS) certification kit. These technologies are already included in the in-structional repertoire; and these kits will enhance the hands-on portion of this instruction. r

GLANCDA dealer members (Paul Wondries, Doug Bravo) Director (Peter Hoffman), and Executive Director (Bob Smith) met with Congresswoman Judy Chu, in her

Pasadena district office on Friday October 11, 2019.

The discussions were aimed at helping the congresswoman better understand the dealers positions on top of mind issues new car deal-ers face every day. The concern of trade issues and the impact of tariffs on the affordability of new cars to our customers was covered in great detail. Additionally, concerns that vehicle recalls and related shortages of parts , and the impact on our industry, made for very produc-tive dialogue.

These meetings with elected officials at every level (federal, state, and local) are a vital activity of the association, and the value of a GLANC-DA membership is realized in the access and lines of communication that we keep open with our public servants. r

Seminar Series: Workplace Violence Response and Anti-Harass-ment Manager Trainings


Cars have a problem: They last longer, and that means the insides get grubby and outmodedBy Nathan Bomey, USA TODAY

Cars are lasting longer than ever. While that’s good for owners, it’s bad for the interior of the vehicle, where stains, cracks and outmoded electronics can undermine the overall driving

experience.

So automakers and suppliers are being forced to rethink the way they make everything, from seat fabrics to door coatings to infotainment systems. Everything must be designed for the long haul.

The average age of cars and light trucks on U.S. roads reached an all-time high of 11.8 years in 2018, according to research firm IHS Markit. That’s partly due to improvements in reliability – engines are lasting longer as components become more resilient. It’s also because of lengthier loan terms, which incentivize owners to keep their vehicles longer as they pay off the debt. “People are absolutely holding onto their cars longer. Cars are getting better,” said Jake Fisher, director of auto testing for Consumer Reports. “It’s not unreasonable to expect 150,000 miles, trouble-free.”

By 2023, there will be about 84 million vehicles on the road that are at least 16 years old, reflecting a 240% increase from 35 million in 2002, according to IHS.

And that poses a significant challenge.

The last thing automakers want is for their cars to get a reputation for deteriorating quickly on the inside.

Faded plastics or stained fabrics could leave an impression on car owners – and their passengers – that certain brands can’t hold up over time, even when their engines are running strong.

And that’s just with a limited number of riders.

Imagine the wear and fears on cars used through ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft, where passenger volume can be higher and interiors are at risk of wearing out more quickly. And with those customers, there’s only one chance to make a good impression or leave a bad one.

“Customers want these soft-touch materials,” said Brent Gruber, senior director of automotive at J.D. Power. “They want things to look really nice, but it also has to be durable and it also has to hold up.”

Leather and armrestsAt auto supplier PPG, which makes paints and coatings, engineers are recalibrating their approach to help automakers develop interiors that hold up for 15 years instead of 10. That means paying more attention to coatings used for armrests and seat fabrics, for example.

But boosting the longevity of interior parts by 50% requires an investment in new material composition and design, said Rebecca Liebert, senior vice president of automotive coatings and mobility for PPG.

Coatings and paints are “going to have to be very high quality” to last for 15 to 20 years, she said.

From a practical perspective, that means using more synthetic leather on seats instead of traditional fabrics, which tend to wear out faster, she said. PPG is working on coatings technology to make synthetic leather feel more like the real thing and boost its durability.

The creation of advanced plastic material that mimics open-grained wood is one example of what to expect, he said. The goal is for automakers to tap into the type of durability associated with the “hard, hard plastics that last forever” on a 1990s Toyota Camry, for example, he said.

“In a way, those are probably the most durable materials you can get,” Fisher said. “They’re somewhat bulletproof.”Two of the most commonly cited problems with the interior are material scuffing and seat fabric soiling, according to J.D. Power, which tracks more than 233 specific vehicle problems.

One of the biggest areas for improvement is in what Gruber called “blue-dye transfer,” which is what happens when jeans rub off on lighter seats after heavy usage.

“That’s a really big source of dissatisfaction for consumers,” Gruber said.

The good news is that advancements in interior design have led to a 45% reduction in the “problem rate” for seat scuffing and soiling from 2013 to 2019, according to J.D. Power.

That’s in part due to the shift toward synthetic leather. “Leather is a little more resistant to scuff and soils than cloth materials would be,” Gruber said. “Our research has shown that consumers don’t even know that it’s not leather.”

Infotainment troublesAnother area where automakers are beginning to invest more attention is the durability of their infotainment systems. Infotainment glitches are among the most commonly cited defects in studies of new vehicles by Consumer Reports and J.D. Power.

Since consumer tech improves so rapidly, automakers need to integrate the ability to make over-the-air software updates, which is something that Tesla is credited with pioneering, experts said.

Tesla’s cars can be wirelessly upgraded.Tesla’s cars can be wirelessly upgraded. (Photo: Tesla)

Tesla is able to make wireless improvements to its touchscreens and safety systems, which CEO Elon Musk has trumpeted as a competitive advantage. Traditional automakers have been slow to follow, in part because of the extra expense associated with the connectivity technology required to do so.

But they can’t afford to install infotainment systems in their vehicles that turn out to be dinosaurs within a few years.

“As the average age of personally owned cars gets so much higher, we need to think about the upgradability of those systems,” said Tom Mayor, industrial markets strategy practice leader for KPMG, who consults with auto companies on their future technologies. “How do I make that center console display or that rear-seat entertainment unit just like my phone or my computer or my iPad -- that it gets better over time?”

Many new vehicles now come equipped with the capability of connecting to smartphones using Apple’s CarPlay system or Google’s Android Auto. But the native system installed on the vehicle ages quickly without the ability to be updated.

In a 2018 study, AAA found that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – which allow drivers to control their phones using the vehicle’s infotainment system – are 24% faster than built-in vehicle systems for calls and 31% faster for entering directions.



Mayor said he expects “the majority of my auto clients” to move to “fully connected car fleets” within about four years, which would theoretically allow them to begin making wireless updates to their vehicles.

But that will also require investments in vehicle modems and design tweaks to incorporate the extra storage capacity for computing purposes.

Plus, engineers need to think years down the road, which means incorporating enough processing power “to do more in the future than the day it rolls off the line,” Mayor said.

“That runs counter to a hundred years of how I cost-optimize a car,” he said. But “if I’m going to have a car whose features (improve) over time, then I have to do that.” r

Used-Car Price Tumble Spells Trouble for the U.S. Auto Market By Keith Naughton

Falling used-car prices last month were a major contributor to subdued inflation for the U.S. economy. Auto analysts warn this could be a lasting trend with major negative implications for new-vehicle

demand.

The 1.6% monthly drop in used-car prices last month was the biggest decline in a year, a Labor Department report showed Thursday. The overall core consumer price index increased just 0.1% from the prior month, a smaller gain than expected.

The decline in used-car prices is explained in part by rising returns of vehicles that have reached the end of consumer leases, according to Charlie Chesbrough, Cox Automotive’s senior economist. Analysts have warned for years that a glut of off-lease vehicles was coming and would pose a risk to carmakers by making used autos look like better bargains than new ones.

“It’s only going to get more competitive for the new side,” Chesbrough said Thursday during a tour a Michigan auto-auction facility run by Manheim, which Cox owns. “If we continue to see used prices decline, it will provide another value option, another buying option for folks who are in the market.”

Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley’s auto analyst, wrote in a report last week that his team has “tried to call the top of the used car market (incorrectly) for much of the past five years.”

Still, Jonas cautioned that if the value of consumers’ used cars drop, they may have trouble continuing to secure the financing needed to buy new vehicles in the coming years.

“Continued resiliency in used has been arguably the most important driver of continued affordability,” Jonas wrote in the Oct. 3 report. “Without such an accommodative lending environment we can only speculate what a ‘natural’ level of U.S. auto sales would be today. If we had to guess, we’d say sales would be closer to 14 million than 17 million.” r

Symes Pasadena Toyota, and the Sierra Automotive Group of Monrovia support Pasadena Community College Automotive Program

With combined gifts amounting $10000, two local auto dealer groups helped direct as-sociation (GLANCDA) funds to assist in the development of college automotive students. John Symes (Symes Automotive Group, Toy-ota, Cadillac, Land Rover) and Peter Hoffman (Sierra Automotive Group, Honda , Chevrolet , Subaru, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) have been association board members for many years and support the efforts of new car dealers to give back to education for purpos-es of building a stronger work force.

Pasadena City College Automotive Technolo-gy program dates back to 1938. The program is strong with active advisory board members representing the dealership, independent, and fleet operations. The students generally are enrolled for 2 to 3 years and the program covers all the ASE Master Auto Service Tech-nician requirements. The program adds addi-tional tasks and jobs that are recommended by the advisory board and lab assignments that go above and beyond the ASE require-ments to teach important critical thinking and theory. Most students are usually working be-fore they graduate and then retain full-time

employment after they finish the program, and many finish their associates degree with an em-phasis in business courses. The lead faculty member is Wendy Lucko and comes from the independent repair facilities with over 10 years of experience and also a graduate of the PCC Auto Program. She currently serves as the Cal-ifornia Auto Teachers President.

GLANCDA’s support of automotive programs here and at other community colleges is helping produce capable hard-working knowledgeable technicians to keep customers safe on the road and satisfied. The program at PCC is need of newer vehicles, updated equipment, and hand tools for student use! The goal one day might be to get a factory program sponsor and support from the new car dealers keeps this a possibility. The first funding from GLANCDA and it’s dealer members went towards the purchase of the soft-ware and desks for the service writing course. r

UNION ORGANIZING SEMINAR: WHAT TO DO, AND WHAT NOT TO DO

Protecting Your Shop

Periodically events transpire that force our attention on the efforts labor unions have been making to obtain a foothold in Southern California over the past few decades. The unions typically view the technician labor pool as the perfect candidate for unionization, and have focused their organization efforts on that group. Until 2016, no new car dealer in Southern California had ever agreed to a collective bargaining agreement with a union. That changed when the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers successfully unionized the technicians in a San Diego dealership. Since that time, unions have made other efforts with the dealership environment, and most recently the IAM won an election at a Honda store in Valencia.

This program will provide an update as to the current union landscape confronting Dealers, their tactics and methods to strengthen your own defense to a union attack. Proactive management skills will be shared to help ensure that you will be ready to respond to external threats to your dealership.

We encourage Dealers and their Service Directors to attend this session, presented by Chris Hoffman of Fisher Phillips LLP. Chris represents hundreds of dealerships across the country, and has long been at the forefront of dealership employment defense tactics. He also is the Chair for the Firm’s Dealership Practice Group, a collection of experienced lawyers around the country who dedicate a significant portion of their practice to defending automobile dealerships.

Rise of EVs Will Cost Jobs Across Auto IndustryImpact will be felt from the factory to the dealer service bay.By Paul A. Eisenstein

Early this month, Denmark proposed that the European Union completely ban the sale of gas- and diesel-powered vehicles. Closer to home, General Motors is expected to include plans to invest billions of dollars to add production of new battery-cars as part of its eventual contract settlement with the United Auto Workers union. While there are still plenty of skeptics, there’s a growing sense in the auto industry that electric vehicles are the way of the future.

That poses plenty of problems for automakers that are investing billions in a technology that has yet to connect with the broad mass of new car buyers. And manufacturers like GM, Ford, Volkswagen and Honda aren’t the only ones worried about what the push towards electrification will mean.

While battery-cars may be good for the environment, they may pose serious concerns for workers, putting “a lot of jobs at risk,” cautions Mark Wakefield, the head of the automotive practice at consultancy AlixPartners.

(For Developing Batteries That “Revolutionized Our Lives,” Three Scientists Win Nobel)

On the whole, battery-electric cars are expected to be simpler to produce, especially when comparing electric powertrains to today’s gas and diesel drivetrains. They should also prove far simpler to maintain and service, according to Wakefield and other experts, meaning the impact on jobs likely will be felt far beyond the confines of the factory.

EVs have fewer moving parts and this generally means fewer people are needed for the assembly process.

Exactly how much of an impact the emergence of battery technology will have is expected to depend upon what type of electrified vehicles eventually gain ground.

Japanese automakers Honda and Toyota, in

particular, are focusing on both conventional and plug-in hybrids. If anything, by pairing a gas engine and electric motors under the same hood, a vehicle winds up being more complicated. In a study of the European auto industry, AlixPartners estimated production of a plug-in hybrid – arguably the most complicated design – requires an average 9.2 manhours of labor for its powertrain, compared to 6.2 hours for a comparable gas vehicle.

But the general industry perspective is that, over time, pure battery-electric vehicles, or BEVs, will come to dominate. And there, the manufacturing process becomes far simpler, the study estimating an average production time of 3.7 manhours.

On the whole, electric powertrains are just a lot less complex, “and fewer parts mean fewer jobs,” agreed Jeff Schuster, president, Americas Operation and Global Vehicle Forecasting, LMC Automotive.

Exactly where this will be felt is uncertain. The most direct impact will be on both suppliers and powertrain assembly operations. But even vehicle assembly lines could feel the impact, according to industry analysts.

“There are tens of thousands of jobs involved in powertrain manufacturing, and the vast majority of those are under threat from electric cars,” warned John McElroy, a veteran automotive analyst and host of the TV show Autoline:Detroit.

(“Consumers Do Not Want to Buy or Drive” EVs? That’s Not the Story in Europe)

The potential impact doesn’t end at the factory gates, however.

Robots tend to be used more often in the production of electric vehicles.



With fewer moving parts, wear-and-tear is reduced, something expected to translate into less required maintenance and fewer repairs. Another study by AlixPartners estimated that a typical dealer will lose about $1,300 in maintenance and repairs for the typical EV over a five-year ownership cycle compared to what an owner would spend on a comparable gas model.

“You’ll no longer need oil changes or oil filter changes, no fan belts or tune-ups,” said McElroy. Even brakes, he added, will last longer because EVs use a system called regenerative braking where energy is recaptured and returned to a vehicle’s battery, reducing wear on brake pads and other parts.

Today’s cars already need less service than those from the 1960s and 1970s, one reason we see fewer gas stations with repair bays. But EVs could threaten even those service stations that survive. It won’t be just a matter of swapping out their gas pumps for electric chargers, according to Pasquale Romano, the CEO of Chargepoint, one of the country’s largest operators of public charging stations.

Currently, EV owners do more than 80% of their charging at home or work, according to industry data. As more battery-electric cars roll out and motorists start using them for longer trips, Romano said, there’ll be a need for a public infrastructure.

Even so, “You won’t need nearly as many (public) charging stations as you have gas stations today,” he said, meaning still fewer jobs.

How fast the EV revolution will take place – and how quickly its impact on jobs will be felt – is a matter of intense debate, and it “depends on how quickly electric vehicles catch on,” said McElroy.

From a jobs perspective, the story isn’t entirely bleak. The electric vehicle revolution almost certainly will see new battery plants – like the Tesla Gigafactory in Reno, Nevada – pop up across the country. But while battery packs are fairly complex, their assembly is highly automated, requiring relatively few workers compared with what would be needed on a classic automotive line.On the service side of the business, even today’s gas-powered models are more sophisticated than those of decades past from a digital standpoint. But tomorrow’s electric vehicles will require far more software code to operate, potentially creating new job opportunities. But that will be tempered by both their reliability – and by the fact that most manufacturers are moving, like Tesla, to over-the-air updates that would allow them to address problems with thousands, even millions, of vehicles at a time from a single location.

(You May Get the Option to Choose What Your EV Sounds Like)

So, on the whole, the battery-car revolution could sharply cut into the overall automotive workforce. r


General Motors is expected commit to the production of EVs as part of its next UAW contract.

Robots tend to be used more often in the produc-tion of electric vehicles.

Dealers and Legislators

Making the Grassroots Connection

Participate in NADA/ATD’s growing “grassroots connection,” to educate legislators about dealer issues and show them how their decisions in Washington affect your dealership and employees back home.

Step 1Setting Up the Meeting

Contact NADA/ATD for talking points, handouts and help in scheduling face-to-face meetings with legislators.

The Dealership VisitA dealership tour allows a legislator to meet your employees and learn about dealers’ legislative priorities.

• Contact NADA/ATD, which will coordinate your schedule with the legislator’s office and arrange a visit.

• A visit/tour usually takes an hour and should include meeting your employees in all departments.

• Conclude the tour with a discussion about key dealer policy issues.

Meeting at a Legislator’s District or State OfficeThese meetings usually are informal and relaxed.

• Call the district or state office and speak with the district director or scheduler.

• Ask to schedule a 30-minute meeting to discuss key dealer policy issues.

Meeting at a Legislator’s Washington, D.C., OfficeNADA can help set up these meetings, which require more planning and are often very brief. Be sure to educate the legislator’s staff—who usually attend the meetings—since they advise the legislator on

Step 2During the Meeting

Legislators average a dozen meetings a day, so remember the three W’s to make the meeting most effective.

Who? • Tell a personal story about your business. Legislators are more

likely to remember a compelling story accompanied with facts.

• Tell how many employees you have, how long you have been in business, how much you pay in taxes and contribute to local charities and that you are a member of the National Automobile Dealers Association.

Why?• Be clear and concise. Focus on just one or two important

policy issues (see nada.org).

• Listen, even if the legislator’s perspective is different from your own.

What?Explain what you would like the legislator to do and ask for a response. (For example, you may ask the legislator to cosponsor legislation or support a specific bill.)

Step 3After the Meeting

Thank the legislator and offer to be a resource in the future. Contact

Q Where can I find NADA/ATD’s top legislative priorities?

A On NADA/ATD’s website—nada.org/legislative, which has the latest issues, talking points and printable handouts,

or call 202.547.5500.

Q If I don’t know the key legislative issues, can I still host a member of Congress?

A Yes, you don’t need to be a policy expert. Members of Congress want to stay in touch with their constituents

and find out how they can assist you. A dealership visit highlights the jobs and economic opportunities you provide.

Q How much time does it take to prepare?

A NADA/ATD staff can help you quickly prepare for themeeting. with talking-points for you to use at these visits.

Q When should I host a dealership visit?

A Often the best time is when the legislator is back home during a congressional recess. NADA/ATD can provide a

list of upcoming recess dates to help you plan ahead.

FORECAST

New Retail Light Vehicle Registrations Should Exceed 485,000 in ‘19

Motivation to upgrade. The average age of vehicles on the road ex-ceeds 10 years old. Today’s new cars and trucks are far superior to the average 10 year old vehicle. Advanced safety technologies, which were once expensive options exclusive to luxury brands, are now standard features on many vehicles. In addition, an ever-expanding array of new products fulfilling every conceivable market niche and powertrain type will continue to entice consumers into the new vehicle market.

Lower interest rates. After moving higher in ‘18 and the first half of ‘19, interest rates are starting to fall and are likely to move lower for at least the next 6 to 12 months. Declining interest rates, which lead to lower finance and lease payments, are a positive for new vehicle sales. Weak-ening consumer affordability has been a negative for the market during the past 18 months, so the likelihood of lower rates is a welcome sign.

Strong labor market. The county unemployment rate was just 4.7% in August of 2019, and total employment in the county has grown steadily. There are some heightened concerns about the economic outlook, but a healthy labor market is a definite plus for new vehicle sales.

Economic growth is slowing. GDP growth has remained positive, but is likely to decelerate over the next year. The global economy is slowing, and US trade policy is impacting export-oriented manufacturing activity. Slower growth could eventually lead to flattening incomes and rising unemployment, which are negatives for new vehicle sales.

New vehicle affordability is weakening. Higher new vehicle prices and sluggish income growth have contributed to make a new vehicle pur-chase more difficult for many consumers. Loan terms are getting longer and auto-related debt levels have risen during the past several years, signs of a new vehicle market that has reached its peak.

Consumer sentiment is waning. Consumer attitudes have deteriorated somewhat over the past few months. And although overall levels are still strong, there are plenty of things for consumers to be concerned about. Trade policy, the impeachment proceedings, and the 2020 presiden-tial election are just a few things weighing on consumers’ minds. GDP growth is positive and employment rates are low, but concerns about the future can be a deterrent for making major financial purchases, such as a new vehicle.
