No, you misread it.... It was a challenge for you to beat. You deserve a pay raise! -

This is all great news. Labor rates around the country are increasing. A much-needed increase. -
Northern suburb of Dallas.... We bumped our labor rate to $149.99 (from $130) at the beginning of August. It's been 4 months. No one noticed, nor complained. We're staying busy and have more work now than before.

For many shops, business during the winter can slow up due to a number of reasons. What I have found that works is to schedule a flood of service reminders and past recommendations to go out during the months of Jan and Feb. Maintaining touch with your existing customers is a great way to keep your shop top of mind, and it may just bring in a little extra work too. Any winter marketing tips to share? -

Great points. I do know that dealerships are overwhelmed with warranty work, particularly big jobs. And with the shortage of techs and dealer obligations, dealers have to move the warranty work to the front of the line in many cases. -
I read an article awhile back that was predicting these arrangements based on the theory that all the 2021 vehicles would be released after sitting in parking lots for months waiting for a chip needed to get on the lot at about the same time 2022 vehicles would be hitting the lots. The theory was that the dealerships would be overloaded with warranty work on cars that had been sitting in fields for months or longer. I think the supply chain has prevented this issue from hitting up to this point. Will be interesting to see how that all plays out. I believe it may have been a thread I read in this forum, but I don't have the time right now to search for it.
