Technician Spotlight: Tell us about yourself. What is your name, role, and number of years you’ve been in the industry? I'm James Sharp, but everyone calls me "Jimbo." I serve as a technician with a specialization in transmission diagnosis and repairs. I've dedicated 13 years of my life to the automotive industry, honing my skills and expertise in this ever-evolving field. What attracted you to the industry / What do you like best about the industry? My attraction to the automotive industry is deeply rooted in my passion for fixing cars. There's something incredibly satisfying about diagnosing and repairing vehicles. What keeps me hooked is the ever-evolving nature of the industry. Vehicles and technology are constantly changing, which means I get to keep learning and staying at the cutting edge of automotive technology. It's this dynamic aspect that truly keeps the job exciting and me continually engaged. What do you wish the public knew about what it’s like to be a Technician? Being a technician is a demanding profession that often goes underestimated by the public. It's not just about turning wrenches; it's physically demanding and mentally challenging. Physically, it can be grueling, involving long hours of strenuous work, often in uncomfortable positions. But what many people don't realize is the mental aspect of the job. We're not just fixing parts; we're diagnosing complex issues and finding solutions under pressure. The responsibility of ensuring the safety of vehicles and the satisfaction of our customers is always on our shoulders. It's a profession that requires constant learning, adaptability, and a deep commitment to excellence. What’s the best thing about working at your current shop? What would you tell someone considering working at your shop? The best thing about working at Carr's Chevrolet is that it feels like one big family. It's not just a workplace; it's a supportive community where everyone looks out for each other. When you encounter a problem, whether it's a technical challenge or a personal issue, you can count on your colleagues to step in and help. The sense of camaraderie and teamwork here is truly exceptional. If someone is considering working at our shop, I would tell them that it's a fantastic place to work and learn. You'll have the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. The support and mentorship available here are invaluable. Plus, the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the automotive industry ensures that you'll always be challenged and engaged in your work.
