Four Reasons to Love Online Professional Automotive Communities

Let’s Learn Together

Online communities are places where people can come together to network, learn, and even find better jobs. Here’s why we love communities in automotive, and a few of our favorites.

Four Reasons to Love Professional Automotive Communities

We love the professional automotive communities for four reasons. First, it’s wonderful to get to know other people in the automotive industry and grow your network. Plus, who doesn’t love to have a buddy to talk to at conferences? 

Next reason, the advice. Better to learn from someone who has been there, done that, and made and learned from every mistake in the book, instead of you making those same mistakes yourself.

A third reason is having more options when you’re looking for that next role. Know more people? And those people know you do good work? You will shorten that job search process with a strong community.

Our final favorite reason: They are just plain fun. Learn something, and have a good time doing it with new friends, what’s not to love?

Our favorite communities

A few of our favorite online communities are DealerRefresh, Automotive State of the Union, i.e. ASOTU on LinkedIn, Car Dealership Guy’s feed on X, The Automotive Creative Collective, and our very own Dealership Video Academy, where automotive professionals trade tips and best practices for using video in their dealership.
