This is also another area to specialize for techs who want to work on those older cars. If a shop sets an age limit and only wants to work on new stuff, folks that like the older projects can sell that service. I've worked on everything from 1949 to 2024, and I am more familiar with the stuff from 1980 up, but as long as I can access the information, I can fix it.

Top Shop Challenge: What are a couple of things you'd like to highlight that happened last month?
Big news in our express department! We have started out mentorship program for our express technicians! Every day a few of our express technicians will be paired with a main shop technician so they can get real hands-on experience in the main shop. We encourage all of our express techs to try the mentorship program so they can ensure that becoming a main shop technician is the route they want to want to take.

Top Shop Challenge: What are a couple of things you'd like to highlight that happened last month?
This month we dialed in our internal messaging platform, we are having techs take pictures and videos of their recommendations to help customers better understand the reasoning behind their recommendations. In the month of May last year we did a total of 5020 hours in the shop and this year we did 5664 hours! Thats an increase of 13% for the total shop hours! Going into one of our busiest months we are excited to see what this new photo and video messaging platform can do to help our customers better understand what their cars need to make sure their cars are ready for the summertime!

Guys Truck and Tractor has been busy servicing many types of equipment and trucks. The technicians have been working very hard to stay on top of the work load and keep equipment moving in and out of the shop for our customers.
