    In this episode, industry veteran Jeff Compton and industry coach Rick White of 180Biz discuss bonus-laden pay plans, production bonuses, and the treatment of technicians when they attempt to leave for other employers.

    As an industry veteran and someone that isn't a shop manager or a shop owner, Jeff brings his perspective on what is routinely recommended to shop owners as ways to increase production in their shops.

    Rick White brings his perspective as someone that has worn almost every hat in the industry. Speaking with struggling shop owners every day, Rick pushes back on widely held perceptions by technicians about the intent of shop owners as they begin to make changes in their business.

    Albert Einstein said, “we can not solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”.

    How important is your mindset in your daily life?

    Are you dictating how you’re going to think, feel, and act or are you allowing others to dictate it for you?

    I’ll be frank, we all deal with huge piles of BS. Some more than others. And yet, while some are waiting for the storm to pass, others have learned to dance in the rain.

    What goes into that mindset?

    Well, we learned just that when we sat down with Tonnika Haynes, the owner of Brown’s Automotive in Chapel Hill, NC. 

    Tonnika tells us how she navigates through the inevitable trials of life.

    What goes through the mind of an A-level technician when they’re about to put in their notice?

    What drove them to the point where they finally decide to leave?

    Are they leaving the industry? Are they doing to another shop for better pay? Better benefits? Maybe a better schedule?

    Lucas and David sat down with Cody Gaddie of Cody’s Auto Diagnostics in Tuscon, AZ to have this discussion. 

    Cody started his career as an entry-level technician and worked his way up to become his company’s lead diagnostician.

    But, he ended up leaving for another shop and eventually had to go out on his own as a mobile diagnostician. 

    Cody speaks candidly on why he eventually moved out of a shop and now works for himself.

    You’re flooded with cars at your shop, the phones are ringing off the hook, and everyone is approving the work that you’re estimating. 

    Excited, you put an ad out to hire another technician and then…

    Nothing.

    You get suggestions from ASOG on where to advertise, you double your ad spend, and you ask every tool truck driver for leads and still, you can’t seem to find someone.

    This isn’t just a problem for you. It seems everyone is having trouble staffing their stores with qualified technicians.

    But, have you ever gotten a technician's perspective on the problem?

    Who is to blame for the shortage of technicians?

    Well, David & Lucas sat down with some of the most influential technicians in the industry today to gain their views on the issue.

    First up is Mario Rojas, a diagnostician working at Autobahn Performance in Oakland Park, Florida.

    Mario also shares his knowledge with other technicians on his YouTube channel, Super Mario Diagnostics.

    In this episode, he speaks candidly on what he believes are the problems plaguing our industry and what will ultimately attract top talent to your shop.

    Some time ago, a new member to ASOG posted an ad where they touted “free diagnostics”.

    When asked, they stated that if you had the repair done with them, they would waive the diagnostic fee.

    Is that a wise approach to gain the trust of your customers or provide them an appropriate amount of value for their money?

    What about providing the first 15 minutes at no charge?

    Does giving away any time devalue our industry?

    To unpack these issues, David is joined by Dutch Silverstein, the Owner of A&M Auto Service in Pineville, NC, Bill Nalu, the Owner and President of Interstate Auto Care in Madison Heights, MI, and Matt Skundrich, the Owner of Mobile Advanced Diagnostics and Programming in Orlando, Florida. 

    The 4 owners came with completely different perspectives on how to bill diagnostic testing time, whether or not to give anything away, and how the customer should be approached both on the phone and in person.

    Every shop owner knows just how difficult it is to find great help.

    For every 1-man operation that is looking to add their first service advisor or technician, there are 4-store operations that have developed systems that allow them to have a continuous pool of talent to staff their stores.

    How is their approach different from single-store owners?

    To answer that question Lucas and David sat down with Dwayne Myers, the Owner & Managing Partner at Dynamic Automotive based out of Woodsboro, Maryland.

    Dwayne has cultivated a culture that finds and nurtures new talent for his stores.

    Listen to how his organization approaches both employee retention and empowerment.
