This past weekend I had an interesting conversation with a younger technician at a family party that is a friend of the family. One of the things we discussed was repair procedures, and how it is typically not frequently possible to take shortcuts any more that would save time on repairs. (By short cuts I don’t mean incorrect or hack repairs. I’m speaking more along the lines of loosening and moving a bracket and setting it to the side, instead of fully removing it from the vehicle during a repair.) One the things this technician specified that he receives pushback from management staff are resets and relearns that would be specified to be completed during a repair by factory service information. His management staff that are former technicians don’t see the importance of some of these repair steps. So what is the point I’m trying to make? Technology changes in modern vehicles practically daily. Repair steps that once seemed unimportant 20 years ago may be very important today. We must encourage proper repair procedures now more than ever. This results in properly repaired vehicles, happy clients, profitable repair facilities, and most importantly safety. If you have not worked on the floor of a repair shop for a number of years, you may not be up to date with repair of modern automobiles and trucks. This doesn’t mean you don’t have experience, but your experience may not effectively apply to what comes into your facility. Maybe you were once the fastest tech in the shop to replace timing belts on late 90’s Toyota vehicles. Maybe you knew every trick possible to make cylinder head gasket replacements on early 2000’s Dodge Neon’s take only an hour. If you’re managing a repair center that caters to European vehicle brands. Do you think your experience supersedes your technicians experience? The unfortunate truth is it likely doesn’t (The examples used in this paragraph are hypothetical, and do not represent a specific individual) Now more than ever, I encourage you to communicate and work together with your team to properly repair the most complex vehicles on the roads today.
