From Istanbul Technical University to more than 500 emergency-radio systems, Turan has built a career around the moment a concrete wall turns a clear signal into silence.

He started with a $5-an-hour internship and a reporter's instincts. Three decades later, American Airlines' communications chief still builds his work around the same stubborn question: why?

He went from an Army medic and a wheel-repair route to running a national network of collision shops. His wager is simple: buy respected local operators, keep what made them trusted, and repair the car the way its maker intended.
