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.

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.

This is Vaughn Smith. He is one of our Subaru specialists. He has been working as a technician for 9 years. He enjoys the outdoors and loves to go snowboarding and rock climbing.
One of the things that attracted Vaughn to this industry is that he enjoys taking things apart and putting them all back together. He prefers a hands-on learning experience to further his expertise in vehicles.
Something that Vaughn wished people knew about being a technician is even though a problem with a vehicle may seem minor, you have to look over the vehicle as a whole to confirm the concern. Each individual part works together to power the vehicle, so if one piece is even the slightest bit off it could have an effect on other parts.
Vaughn's favorite thing about working here is his coworkers and the family-like environment that we have here. He enjoys the company of his coworkers & has genuine friendships with them which helps make his job easier. He truly enjoys working with our shop foreman Scott Clark. While describing his admiration for Scott, he said "Scott supports and respects each individual, making it very easy to get along with him not only as a boss but as a friend."
