Shop Talk

What are some things about your techs that you're thankful for?

While we are ALWAYS thankful for each and every technician on our team, we would like to take this time and thank the leaders on our team. All of our technicians are extremely skilled and extremely hard workers. We would like to thank our team leaders for cultivating this success in our shop. From Master techs, to lube techs, we have incredible leaders on our team that set an example to all others on our team. This exemplary leadership does not go unnoticed and we are SO thankful for those on our team who step up to the plate!

What are some things you wish the general public or kids about to graduate high school knew about being a tech?

We would like the general public to know how valuable being a mechanic is. With the world continually changing around us, one thing that will never change is the need for automobile maintenance. Whether it be traditional automobiles or electric automobiles, all vehicles will need some sort of maintenance within the life of the car. Having the skill to repair and maintain vehicles is something that will never change. Talk about job security! We would encourage high school graduates to look into the industry more but overall, try it out for themselves!

As a WrenchWay Top Shop, we are committed to promoting and improving technician careers!
