F&I Without the Handoff
Get more familiar with what your dealer clients are really buying when they entrust you with finance-and-insurance. August 13, 2026 When a dealer entrusts you with the store's finance-and-insurance department, he or she is not buying a product but a process — and the talent to run it.

Look at Chick-fil-A. A decade ago, a stand-alone Chick-fil-A averaged around $4 million a year. Then Covid hit. Dining rooms closed.
A Comparative Study of Synthesis Routes for Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Quantum Dots in Fluorescence Quenching-Based Nitrite Detection Click to copy article link Article link copied!
Comprehensive Characterization of N-GQDs The nanostructure of the synthesized materials was investigated by TEM and statistical image analysis ( Figure 1 ). The top-down synthesis from black carbon (N-GQD (BC)) yielded heterogeneous particles with an average diameter of 5.26 ± 2.13 nm ( Figures 1 a, b, and g). By contrast, the bottom-up hydrothermal route from citric acid (N-GQD (CA)), shown in Figure 1 c, d, and h, produced highly monodisperse nanoparticles with an average size of 3.01 ± 0.41 nm.
