Our technicians request parts via the tablet to the Service Manager. He then creates a detailed list of parts for the Parts Specialist.

We allow our technicians to use our shop to repair their personal vehicles and the vehicles of their immediate family only. We do not allow any other work performed at our shop as it violates our policy and impacts our worker's compensation insurance as well as our liability insurance.

We love to educate and we love when our team wants to get educated. We assist with ASE testing. We conduct in-house training and seek out training wherever we can. We have sent technicians to Bendix School, Freightliner, and MACS school in PA, Hunter Alignment School in Connecticut, and electrical classes at Suffolk Community College.. If you find a class you want to take....we will send you on our dime. Our Service, Parts, and Office Staff take classes at Pryor Seminars and DRIVE training.

We train apprentice technicians to C techs. C techs to B techs, B techs to A techs, A techs to Lead techs or Shop Foreman. Parts Specialists can move up to Service Advisors and Service Advisors can move up to Service Managers.

We conduct annual one-on-one meetings as well as performance reviews twice a year. We have a self-evaluation form and we review it. We will offer action plans for any areas we both feel need help.

Besides Fork Lift Certification, we require new shop staff to demonstrate safe use of all company equipment.

We have a training program that requires our apprentices to shadow a B or A tech for 1 month each. This way they learn different work styles.

Technicians for Change. Technicians are constantly losing small change from their pockets while under trucks. We collect that change and the company matches that change and sends it to a charity of our choice. We have donated to St. Judes Hospital, Animal Shelters, Autism Speaks, Unwed Mother Shelters, Natural Disaster Aide, Paws of War, Wounded Warrior, and more.

We have participated in High School Career Nights at local high schools.

We ask them just 2 or 3 technical questions. Then another 3-4 questions each about their work styles, and the interactions with fellow team members. We ask them if they have ever heard about us and how, if they have seen our website, what they think of our shop so far. All in all the interview includes about 27 questions and is conducted by the hiring staff. If they make it past that, they will have a quick 10-minute meeting with what would be their supervisor.
