Ep. 100🎙️ XDC 2026 | Tony Tran: Crafting Identity Through Cars | Real Talk with Mike Burke
In this episode, Mike sits down with Tony Tran, owner of 101 Motors and Tempe Auto Spa, to trace a career that began in a high-school auto shop and grew into a multi-division operation. Tony shares the pivotal moment he walked away from a dealership job after being told he couldn’t pursue further education — a decision that pushed him to start rebuilding and selling vehicles out of his garage with a one-year warranty. The conversation also dives into building one-of-one vehicles, converting a classic Ford to electric power, bringing services in-house to protect quality, and how listening to installers and customers ultimately shaped his brand decisions. 🔗 Connect with Tony Facebook: 101custom Instagram: @101motors Website: https://www.101motors.com YouTube: @101MotorsTempe ➤ Subscribe to Real Talk With Mike Burke to watch full episodes of the podcast. ➤ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-talk-with-mike-burke/id1611409375 ➤ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6palwGfEfUIFG8sIIJPc1T?si=67c809d6c05b44f1 ➤Follow me on Instagram @themikeburke ➤Email me for podcast inquiries: therealmikeburke@gmail.com
