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.

Conquering Challenges as a Veteran Field Service Technician "Take the hill." It's not just a command; it's a mindset, a testament to the unyielding determination that defines a warrior. As a military veteran turned field service technician, I've come to realize that the essence of this phrase transcends the battlefield and finds its place in every facet of life. Just as on the battlefield, where the hill represents a formidable challenge to overcome, the field service technician faces their own hills to conquer. The terrain may have shifted from muddy trenches to complex machinery, but the spirit remains the same. We're not just repairing equipment; we're surmounting obstacles, one bolt at a time. The hill might be a malfunctioning system, a tight deadline, keeping up with a crazy customer schedule, or a complex repair, but we approach it with the same unwavering resolve that carried us through the most arduous internal battles. In field service, we rely on teamwork and collaboration. Each technician is a part of a cohesive unit, drawing strength from each other's expertise. When the going gets tough, we lean on our training and experience, knowing that together we can conquer any hill in our path. There are days when the hill seems insurmountable, when the gears, wires, the 55 hour weeks, or the tight deadlines weaken even the most battle hardened of technicians. But it's in those moments that the spirit of "take the hill" shines brightest. It's a call to rise above adversity, to rally our forces and confront challenges head-on. It's a reminder that just as we once stormed hills with a flag held high, we now raise the banner of expertise and determination as we tackle the hills of the technical landscape. To all my fellow field service technicians, remember that the battle-hardened spirit within you is an asset that sets you apart. You've faced down the fiercest foes, you've weathered the harshest conditions, and you've emerged stronger every time. With the phrase "take the hill" echoing in your heart, approach each technical challenge and insane schedule with the same courage and tenacity. For just as you've conquered hills before, you'll conquer them again, armed not with weapons, but with knowledge, skill, and an unyielding spirit.
