Although we are wrapping up our September Topic of the Month, Technician Recognition, Top Shops continue to promote and improve their amazing technician recognition benefits through our Shop Talk feed. It is great to see more and more videos being posted every day from shops across the country. Our Shop Talk feed has truly evolved into a community of shop managers, owners, and fixed ops directors promoting their shop in order to attract technicians.

Check out a few of our favorite technician recognition videos from September below.

Toyota and Honda of Seattle understand one of the fundamental ways to recognize their technicians is through pay. To help their technicians earn a pleasing wage, they keep the shop busy and provide a clean environment so they can make their hours. Plus, they promote team bonding by hosting team dinners!

Also, if you didn’t know, you can now post text and picture updates on Shop Talk if video isn’t your thing… but we still highly recommend video.
