Last week Toyota of Corvallis got the special honor of being invited to the Knife River Job Fair in Albany Oregon. We got to show off a Brand New 2023 Tundra thanks to our wonderful sales department! The 8th graders loved sitting in the driver's seat and checking out all the complex electronics modern technicians have to diagnosis.

We hire and retain women associates by giving them every opportunity for success as we give to men. Being a woman in this industry for 20+ years, I have had negative experiences with customers both men and women who make an assumption that we don’t know as much as men, but have never felt that from Broadway. Broadway goes above and beyond to ensure every employee has equal rights and opportunities. Julie Stanzel has been employed with Broadway as a Collision Technician for over 3 years. I never assume she isn’t capable of any repair that comes into the shop. By giving equal opportunities, she realizes how much we value her and this helps us to retain her as an employee. The sky is the limit!

We're on a roll when it comes to pushing out inventory. We've had several 30+ car(s) weeks. We are down around 100 cars in the inventory Instead of the normal 120.

To answer this question, we asked a couple of our younger technicians in the shop, Daniel and Josh. They think getting involved earlier could be beneficial - making sure kids know that obtaining a college degree isn’t for everyone and that there are other options out there! We need to change the perception of society (and some educators) on a technician’s career. We should normalize going into the trades and be honest … you do NOT need a college degree to make a good living. Kids should know the advantages to a trade career, especially as technicians! So, with that said, we think it is important we show kids what it is like being a technician in the automotive industry. They should know the jobs are in high demand right now, that the pay is excellent (and increases as knowledge and skills expand), that there is paid on-the-job training and mentors are on site to learn from, that your skills you learn are lifelong, that it’s a very rewarding career, and that the career involves a lot of problem solving. A lot of people don't realize the successes being a technician can bring nor the opportunity for growth and career advancement. We would also love to see manufacturers getting more involved at the Middle school and Highschool level as well as freshly out of Highschool and Trades School (or any secondary school). Some manufacturers provide discounts on tools for aspiring technicians that are learning the trade, but we wish they would do more for technicians once they are in the industry and trying to get established as a new technician.
