Do you offer any skills training or continuing education opportunities?
Transmission seminars are available if tech is interested. I am not opposed to pay for training if it makes sense for all
Can you describe opportunities for career growth at your business?
I've had many techs over the years come here because they know how to fix mostly anything on a car but don't know much about the internals of a transmission. So even a top tech could learn something they haven't seen yet. I've had 2 techs move on to open their own transmission shops
