Being involved with the next generation of technicians is very important to the future of our industry. There are many ways to give back, from mentorships to advisory committee meetings to donating your time when the schools ask.

We recently moved into the formerly SEARS at Westwood Mall allowing our $52 million luxury dealership to span over 180,000 square feet. Now we are able to have everything under the same roof: Sales, Service, and the largest parts warehouse in Texas.

Drama-Free is how we roll here at Joe's. Joe is a good handling the grill and employee luncheons are the "norm". That gives us time to hang out without "shop talk"!

An employee who came back after leaving was one of our technicians Michell. Michell began his career with us in pre-inspection before working his way up to being one of our best recon tech producers. He has the aptitude and talent to be an amazing master technician one day. This year we've seen him grow past his initial uncertainty regarding his capabilities and have seen major strides that he has made to take pride in what he's doing as well as understand every aspect of what he has accomplished.

Ellie is a service advisor whos worked for K.C.M.S since May. Ellie began her career in the automotive industry when she was a teenager at her father's body shop. When asked what she liked most about her job she said that "There's nothing monotonous or boring back here! Every time the phone rings it's something that we have never heard of before, you know things are always changing every car is different" she smiles before stating "It's just fun because you are learning something every day!"

In a recent WrenchWay poll, we were shocked to find that 31% of technicians said they never have one-on-one meetings with their manager. In this video, Jay discusses these results, the importance of one-on-one meetings, and offers advice for managers.
Technician
I left Phil Wright Autoplex in Russellville, AR in large part because the manager promised to meet with me (and I even offered to buy him lunch just trying to sweeten the pot) but always had an excuse why he couldn't. I then had a pay period (by monthly) where I was at 15 hours the day before the period closed, and I made the decision to move on. That manager was pretty sore when I told him I was leaving. But I did something there that I had never done before in that I tried to meet with him, tried to hash out the issues, tried to offer solutions to make the shop better, most of which would have cost nothing. He's in a world of hurt now because he only has one trained technician left as one retired and I left. It all could have been prevented by sitting down with me (at my cost, no less) and hearing me out and communicating with me. Oh well. I'm in a much better place now.
