True Confessions of a Car Guy

Real Stories. Real People. Real Car Business.

True Confessions of a Car Guy is a BAGI Media production built around the people, stories, humor, challenges, and realities of the automotive industry.

Hosted by John Gavin — the show draws on more than 40 years of automotive experience to take audiences behind the scenes of a business most people only see from the showroom floor.

From dealership veterans and industry leaders to salespeople, service professionals and customers, we tell the stories of the people who make the car business what it is.
