Transparency around pay, benefits, work environment, culture, and more is what we’re all about! Proud to have shops like Capital District Transportation Authority on our Top Shop platform that get it too.

At Woody Anderson Ford, our Mobile Service Technicians can perform many of the same services you'd find at our dealership—from oil and filter changes to brake services, battery replacements, tire rotations, recalls, DOT inspections, and much more—all from the convenience of a guest's location.

Hoping to get some feedback on other shops hiring process. After you hire a technician, do you put them on probationary period for 60-90 days? Order uniforms for them right away? Do you keep hiring the least experienced technicians so at least they can do oil changes, tires, etc? Or hold out for the experienced technician you are crossing your fingers for? Is a warm body better than nobody at all?
Technician
I'm so tempted to be sarcastic. "Mechanics are known liars so always keep them on probation 90 days and make them soil their personal clothes for that time too. There are no experienced techs so hire any goober off the street and hand them any job outside their area of expertise to test what they are made of: fire the failures." In all reality, be the very best place techs will want to work for. Take care of the people who already work with you. Have a training path that's published and available, and pay them when they take their own time to work it. Get them uniforms right away. Pay liberally. When you are the place people want to work for, you won't have trouble keeping people.
