This is a normal operation. Technicians diagnose the vehicle and let the Service Advisors know so they can get approval from the customer. Once approved, the technicians go to the parts department to gather the parts.

At this time, we do allow our technicians to work on their own vehicles or vehicles of their immediate family members. We only allow our staff to work with company tools and equipment, so we ask that family members and visitors wait in the lounge for their safety and to avoid any unnecessary risk to our business. We do limit "side-work" that would compete with our business unless pre-approved by the Service Manager.

We pride ourselves on being a shop of integrity. We don't oversell customers to "hit our numbers". We feel that building a long, trusting relationship with customers is the key to a long-term success. We understand that sometimes we all make mistakes, and that the lesson of the mistake is to learn from it to avoid it in the future. We pride ourselves on the tenure of our associates in every department. It shows the dedication that the Pentler family has for its associates.

We offer a wide variety of GM and ASE training. We strongly encourage continued education to keep as up to date as possible with the ever-changing auto industry. Our Service Manager is always willing to look at outside training and continuing education when it adds value to the technician or the shop.

We are a growing, multi-location dealer group. We are always looking for interest in advancement from our associates.

We like to provide feedback more than once a year during our annual performance review. We are starting a quarterly review/check-in to give more face-to-face time between the associates and their manager. During this time, we can discuss new or improved ideas for the shop or shop processes and talk about specific strengths and opportunities that each individual needs to sustain or improve on.

As with most companies, we have a company that assists us in staying up to date with all aspects of EH&S. On top of that, there are a variety of videos that will discuss safety as a refresher.

As the old saying goes, "Teamwork makes the Dreamwork". It is vital for our experienced technicians to assist, partner and teach our Apprentices and growing technicians. When you have decades upon decades of experience in your shop, you have to encourage that experience to be shared. We also compensate our World Class Tech (Lead Tech) to be a direct mentor to all other techs and apprentices in our shop.

We partner with many different non-profits in a multitude of different ways from sharing our experiences in the automotive industry to donating items for events.

Yes. We have been making efforts to actively get to know the local schools that offer Auto Tech classes. We see local high school auto tech classes as the main source of technician recruitment in the future.

I hope that within five years, we have at least two World Class Technicians and several more A, B and C techs as we continue to grow our business. I look forward to meeting with the dealer principles to let them know we have to expand our shop to take in more technicians and more business.
