Monthly Poll Question
Answer a poll question for a chance to win $500 plus $500 for a local High School.
What's your outlook for 2025 in the shop? The reports are saying 2025 may be one of the best years for an automotive technician. If that is true what are your thoughts (be nice) on how many vehicles verse hours run will we see. Or what would you rather do? I like the work on less vehicles but run more hours.
Shop Talk
Who staying in the shop? I have been reading that 2025 ls shaping up to be a great year for the automotive service and repair industry. Less people are wanting to invest $50 to $90k for a new ride and most will opt to keep their 8 to 15 year old vehicles on the road. This is a huge opportunity for all of us to provide killer inspections for our clients so they get a true understanding of the condition of their car or truck. If a new vehicle purchase is going to set them back $800 to over $1000 a month or $9600 to $12,000 a year then all of a sudden it may make sense to put $2000 to $5000 a year into the vehicle they already have. Even if it needed a motor, trans or battery (EV) needed to be replaced at $15 to 25K it may be worth it to be able to drive another 2 years and have no car payments or full coverage insurance requirements from a bank. Picture of a 2022 F150 for $72K!
