Great questions Joe. In my opinion, the future is bright for independent repair shops that embrace emerging technologies and invest in training. See you all at Vision 2024 in Kansas City! However, I can see the possibility that we no longer expect that every tech has the knowledge or training for every job that comes through the shop, as may have been expected in the past. There may be alignment and ADAS techs, diesel repair techs, driveability diag techs, etc. Oh, and high tech immobilizer and key programming work that requires locksmith level training. A certain amount of specialization is inevitable, isn't it? Wouldn't it make sense to have a goal of having two technicians in the shop that have competency for services offered by the company?
