About John Fairchild

Forty-five years on the drive.

John Fairchild has spent his whole career inside dealership fixed operations: on the drive, in the parts department, as a consultant and as a coach. Fairchild Automotive Solutions is the company he built to turn that experience into a system a store can run every day.

Our mission

Give fixed ops teams what they need to run a profitable drive.

Fairchild Automotive Solutions exists to empower fixed operations staff with the training, tools and strategies they need to excel. Every engagement is customized to the store, and every one of them is built to still be working after John leaves the building.

We are committed to

  • Expert training that optimizes how the service department actually runs, onsite and in the cadence that follows.
  • Cost-effective software, Fixed Ops HQ, that gives managers one shared number and the customer presentation that earns the work.
  • Warranty reimbursement that ensures fair compensation for factory warranty parts and labor rates.
