Today, along with our Service Manager of our Dodge store and our two General Managers, I had the absolute pleasure of donating a newer, loaded Ford Explorer to our local Hartford High School Auto Tech class. This explorer more closely represents the kind of cars our techs are working on in todays market. That includes diagnosing a lot of electrical components like proximity keys (push button starts), lane detection, heated and cooled seats, stereo and HVAC systems, as well as the normal mechanical diagnosis and repairs.

At Carr Auto Group, we believe in celebrating excellence, and today, we want to extend a heartfelt shout-out to our sister store, Subaru. But that's not all! We have some incredible news to share. We recently had the privilege of hosting Jon Wenger from Subaru of America at our dealership. Jon Wenger came to Carr Auto Group to recognize the exceptional dedication and commitment of our Express Advisor, Andrew Mallea.

Few things make the day easier as a mechanic than keeping your head up and focusing on the positive.

In the fall at Guys we are involved in parades in the area as well as reaching out to local high school to get involved with students who may be interested in the tech field. We also are starting to get geared up and ready for the busy winter season.

Not only is there a shortage of technicians in our industry, but there is also a shortage of instructors. It is no easy task being a teacher, and it takes a special personality to excel at it.

No one will remember that you fixed that car, motorcycle, piece of equipment, generator or that boat next month. No one will remember that you called around everywhere to help the parts department find that part to get your customer out a week from now. No one will remember that you worked 55 hours a week for years to support your customers a year from now. No one will remember that you always kept your bays clean a week after you leave. What was your legacy? Ultimately, deep down, we do what we do to support our lives outside the job. Just like any other person, in any other position, on the planet. We come to work to make money, to support the things we love to do and the people we enjoy our lives with. For some that is plenty to fulfill our desires to be successful. For others that's a byproduct of doing what we love. They say ", The measure of a leader is how many other leaders they create." As senior techs and leaders in our shops we can apply that same thought to what we do daily. How many techs have you had a meaningful impact on? Senior techs, how many times have you been doing something and you specifically remember the tech that taught you that? All the time right? That is part of that person's legacy. When they taught that to you, it lives on, in you.
