More holiday shenanigans! We had our Tom Wood Lexus Holiday Brunch on Tuesday with prizes, donations to Toys for Tots and an ugly sweater competition. The food was fantastic and getting out of the departments and being able to socialize with fellow coworkers were part of the highlights of the day.

With Winter approaching and construction season winding down we are starting to see the construction vehicles such as dump trucks come in for inspections and repairs after being worked hard all summer. They will keep us busy over the winter making sure they are ready to run come spring.

In the past month, we've had some fantastic developments! We're delighted to introduce two new team members: Rob, a seasoned Senior Master Technician, who has joined our Main Shop team, and Kevin, a promising Lube Technician, now part of our Express team. The energy they bring is contagious, and we're eager to see their impact unfold. In the hustle of last month, both our Express Lane and Main Shop teams pulled off an impressive feat, processing over 2,400 service orders. This accomplishment speaks volumes about our collective dedication and efficiency.

The age-old debate: Do you refer to yourself as a technician or mechanic? In a recent poll, 46% of our audience said “technician” while another 41% said it doesn’t matter.
Technician
Mechanic, technician, grease monkey, parts slinger, wrench, goober, whatever, I literally do not care. I actually think that's a very big problem because I am highly skilled at what I do thanks to an expert teacher. In the military, my verse was Psalm 144:1, "Blessed be the Lord my rock who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight." When I left the military, I prayed, "Father, my business is no longer war, but if you can teach my hands to war, can you also teach them to wrench?" He sends me just enough that I struggle with to keep me humble, but we fix a lot of cars, so when I say I am highly skilled, that's not me bragging. As a highly skilled person, I should be concerned with the terms used to address members of this trade. However, I'm not because at least here in the United States, any person with a quick mouth and a few tools can call themselves a mechanic or "technician" and get a job, screw everything up for everyone and not get fired because, "He sells lots of parts and turns lots of hours and we need him." Not everyone can be highly skilled, but everyone could be ethical and they are not, which gives the industry a bad name. So, when someone asks me, I tell them, "I am a wrench." "Well, what do you do?" "I fix cars."
