Are there any other unique features of the work environment worth noting?

We have an average employee tenure of 12 years. I think our team culture is one of the best you'll find.

Do you offer any skills training or continuing education opportunities?

We sign up for every part vendor "Season Pass" so that you can attend any and all training that is available through them. If there is any training you are interested in that we may not be offering all you have to do is present it to me and I'll consider it. ASE study material and test cost will be reimbursed so long as you pass.

Can you describe opportunities for career growth at your business?

We work hard to work with and educate younger technicians so they can develop their skills and grow into productive and efficient technicians. Every technician is given educational training to increase their skills along with a healthy car count and industry leading pay.

Can you describe your performance review process?

Each week technicians receive a report detailing their Hours billed, Clock hours, Productivity and Efficiency numbers. Service advisors receive daily and weekly reports of their sales. If issues arise we tend to them right away. We use to have formal quarterly employee reviews. Covid forced us to discontinue them and we have not picked back up.

What type of safety training is required?

No formal safety training. Service managers and seasoned techs will make sure everyone is informed of any safety procedures that need to be shared.

Can you describe how Techs work with and mentor younger techs?

Seasoned techs work hand and hand with younger techs until both the veteran techs and service managers feel they are ready to perform work on their own. Veteran techs are credited their mentor techs hours during that time to help compensate them for any lost time in hopes they give the younger techs the time they need. Our assistant service manager is also an ASE Master Tech and one of his job responsibilities is to mentor our younger technicians.
