Executive Spotlight w/ Hugh & Kalah Hathcock of Velocity Automotive

The founder and EVP of Velocity Automotive discuss why reconditioning is so important in this market.

In this Executive Spotlight interview, Host Camille Renner is joined in the AutoSuccess studio by Hugh Hathcock, founder, and Kalah Hathcock, executive vice president, of Velocity Automotive.

AutoSuccess and Velocity Automotive recently partnered to honor organizations across the automotive retail industry who have donated substantial time and money to charities. Before diving into what Velocity offers dealers, we take the time to hear why Champions of Charity is a campaign the Hathcock’s were excited to support.

As much as AutoSuccess and Velocity Automotive would love to solely focus on our industry’s charitable endeavors, this executive spotlight also provides insights on Velocity’s offerings and to why recon is so important in this current market. “In the beginning, we were looking for a solution for dealers that would make them money and would have an impact on their business. Not just another widget … we wanted something that was impactful,” Kalah shared in the video above.
