In this episode my guest is Robin Wilson, founder of Social Grenade, we’re diving deep into the messy, weird, and wonderful world of social media for car dealerships—what works, what flops, and how to stop posting inventory photos like you’re running a 2003 Craigslist ad.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Are we posting too much… or not enough?”

“Why aren’t we getting engagement on our posts?”

“Is TikTok even worth it, or should we just stick to dancing in the showroom after hours?”

Robin’s got answers—and they’re good.

Plus, she drops some absolute gems about building a tribe online, why responding to every review (yes, even the nasty ones) is mission-critical, and how a tattoo post led to selling a Camaro (no joke).

This isn’t your typical social media chat. It’s fun, it’s raw, and it’s ridiculously practical.

So, if you’re tired of yelling into the social media void and hoping someone hears you, hit play.
