Wondering how everyone did April. There are 4 other shops in the same shopping center as one of my shops and they said they were really really slow. Talked to various parts stores and they said everyone was slow. Friend owns a busy shop and he said it was slow. Seems like everyone had a great March though.

Many shops are experiencing a slower than expected spring in pockets around the country.  The shops that are doing good are those that are proactive with sales and vehicle inspections.  If you wait for the customer to come to you and tell you to service or repair their car....good luck.  

You must view every car as opportunity and looking at the entire car.  

Also, every car in your shop today will need future service and repairs. Make sure those cars come back to you. Book the next appointment and plan out their total car care.

I don't have all the answers, but sitting on your hands and wondering where the work is not a viable strategy. 

I like the idea of scheduling the next repair. I want to implement it asap. It's like going to the pediatrician, we always get scheduled for the next appointment, often 2 months ahead. We then schedule our lives around that appointment. Thanks Joe

Setting the next appointment has not worked for us BUT identifying (and agreeing on) the next interval has. When we check out the customer we identify the next interval and let them know to expect a call. We then call to remind them of service due and it keeps our bays fuller. When things get too busy we stop calling for a couple of weeks and fall behind a bit and when we get slow we speed things up a bit. We have been doing this for over 5 years so its a bit habitual for us and our customers.

April was our second best month this year and only second by 3k. Car count was up 4% over last April and avg ticket was up $35

I had a great April. Car count was down (382 last year vs 353 this year) but since I increased my ARO by $110 over last April, we came out ahead by $27K. Also my GP % was up almost 4%, so my GP Dollars are up $21K.

Car count is up YTD by 80 RO's. ARO is up. Sales are up. GP is way up. ELR is up. And my guys are absolutely destroying May.

I had a very weak January, down 23K from '16, and 40K off our target. Finally made up for that, and then some. Life is good.

Great Q1 2017, right on budget.  April car count was under budget by 24%.  The parts stores are slow and so are the other shops in town.  May is tracking slightly better but still under budget for car count.  

Keep in mind, April was 10% shorter with 19 business days as opposed to the typical 21.  I expect to make some of that up in May with 22 business days.

But I still think something is happening out there.  Both my new customer and returning customer numbers were down the exact same percentage.  Cars keep breaking but nobody seems to be stopping by to fix them.

Booking the next appointment is a gold mine.  

I know, I know...I have heard all the shop owners that say it doesn't work. Really? Just ask your dentist, your doctor, the hair salons, the nail salons, the boiler repair guy, the chimney cleaner, the eye doctor, the chiropractor and the septic cleaning company.  They do it; why does it work for them??? 

We have tried booking the next appointment. Most customers are reluctant to do so and most ended up being a non show. We tried offering an incentive. If they came back within 6 months for their next service, they would receive 10% off labor. This just irritated a lot of customers. If they did not make it back in 6 months, the felt like they were cheated. 

As far as asking my dentist, I did just that. His response was that they we are in 2 very different businesses and he could not see it working well in auto repair.

For what it is worth, this is a young guy who has taken over a practice recently and is very business minded. He has doubled if not tripled the practice in just a few years.

He said for it to be successful in his business, it takes a lot of follow through.  Multiple reminders via email and text and they have to call any patient who has not confirmed. He said skipping any of those steps, the success rate drops off dramatically.

I know some shops that swear by scheduling the next appointment, but I know a lot more that found it ineffective.

Every small business owner I talk to says this year is slower. It's weird, like something in the air is affecting everyone. Highway traffic looks down too. The media isn't talking about it, but there's definitely something going on around the country.

I agree with Joe. For us, the key was identifying the interval the customer believes, and the n if acceptable tailoring the reminder (phone call for us) to fit that schedule. People are being told many different things when it comes to maintaining their vehicles. Follow the light, wait till it says 20%, every 3 mos 3k even.

 

intervals are being lengthened and we have to agree and advise our customers. I do not think 5k is too long, I do think once a year is. Whatever, if you send automated reminders every 3 mos, most are being tossed. Figure out what each customer believes and tailor your reminder, next appt to that. It greatly improves the chances of the next visit being to you.

Booking the next appointment does not mean getting 100% of your customers to return at the day and time you set up.  It works as part of your marketing strategy, and it takes time for the process to work.  By informing customers of their next service appointment and other services and repairs due in the near future, you are increasing the odds that your customers will return to you. 

When a patient leaves the dentist's office, the dentist sets up the next cleaning or dental work needed. Even the dentist knows that not all people come back as scheduled. However, many do. And those that due are the ones that value preventive maintenance and also value the opinion of the dentist.

I do agree that most shops do not book the next appointment, and most shops do have a effective rate of return.  But those that are diligent and give time to train their customers and are proactive, do see positive results. 

I also agree that it takes work.  You will need some form of reminder other than the typical service reminder or email.  Successful shops will either text or phone call the customer a few days to a week prior the scheduled appointment.  Even if the return is a handful, it's a win because you are in better control of the work and your schedule.

The repair shop business has changed of the decades. We need a proactive approach to remain competitive.

Joe,

I agree that we need to do all we can to keep customers coming thru the door, and none of us know what will work and what won't until we try it.  If you do the math, scheduling the next appointment is very appealing.  If you can add one more car a day with a 5 day work week and a $300 average R.O. it would add $78,000 a year in sales.  I have just not been able to get it to work for me.  

I realize this has gotten a little off the original topic of how was your April.  We were down 33% from last year.  I believe there is a lot of uncertainty with the new administration and we are just outside of Washington so it is very pronounced here.

Scott,

Trust me, I am not suggesting that booking the next appointment and/or informing customers of needed future work is the cure all to all of our problems.  As a coach for Elite, I get to talk to a lot of shop owners and coaches from around the country.  There are pockets of the country that are doing quite well, other areas are struggling.  The reasons area many.  All that I am suggesting is that as shop owners, we need to be as proactive and positive as possible: Do complete inspections on all vehicles, look at vehicle history and help your customers by mapping out their total,future car care needs. Any effort in the right direction will help.  

And there is one more thing I want to say; but before I say it, I say this with all sincerity and respect for all my fellow shop owners.  Here it goes: don't look for reasons why business is bad.  Because you will find it.  Yes, the economy plays into it, the current political climate, the weather, the competition, etc.  Don't dwell on it, because it will become contagious and your employees will begin to become negative too.  And before you know it, you will go week after week wondering what happened to business. 

Look at each day as a reason to win.  Look at the positive. Celebrate every win,each sale, no matter how small.  Set goals and talk to each customer in a positive way.  When people ask you how you are doing. Tell them great.

Sorry for going on and on, just trying to help here.  After 37 years of riding the repair shop roller coaster, I know that in tough times, being positive is lot better than being negative. I only wish the very best for each shop owner out there! 

Great post! I often tell parts people who come in here and tell me it's quiet on the street as if to console me when we are a little quiet it's a BS excuse that makes everyone feel a little better. What did I do today to change that is far more important than sitting on my a@@. While there may be less cars in bays there are still cars in every shop. If I can get more of those cars to come here they can console each other it's just slow......

 

I am not a coach for elite :)

Joe,

I think this is a valuable discussion and I agree with most of your last post.  A good attitude is the first thing I look for in a new employee.  In this business, we have to remain positive and continue to look for ways to succeed.  But when you are coaching a shop owner, and sales, car count, ARO, or even profit margins go down, I think the first question you are going to ask is why.  If you can't identify the issue, it is hard to address it.  

Denial can be just as damaging as a negative attitude.  If a customer's car came in with a loud knocking noise under the hood, I don't think you would tell them all is well.  Being overly optimistic has gotten me into trouble a few times in my life, and I've seen it do the same to others.  In fact I just purchased the customer base, phone number, url, social media profiles, etc. from a shop owner who was getting coached, increasing his marketing, and was convinced he was going to get his business back to its peak sales days, only to end up in bankruptcy.

I think it's good to look for the reasons why business is bad or when something is not working.  I think what is most important is what you do with that information.  Do you use it as an excuse and become a victim, or do you put it to use, to find ways to overcome the situation and succeed.

I am in Brownsville, TX....down south or the upper part of Mexico if you will.... Lol

It has been the same for us....our business is a 3 yr old but we still growing as a new business.

 Our numbers are very low compare to the numbers you guys mentioned...

But it's very similar to you al'.....great in March and April and on the avg for Jan & Feb compared to last year.

so far no loses yet and we're braking even.

We were setting up to do State Inspection with the idea to increase our sales but the Great State of Texas decided to do away with them...

now back to the drawing board and see what we can do to increase our sales,,,,

 

....and let me say this "Hope is not a plan"

 

Regards

. Reluctant to say. Don’t want to jinx myself, but business was up and has been up for the year. I like to think it’s the hard work being put in and with a great coach at Elite and not a fluke. I have heard on a weekly basis from parts reps and have noticed doing drive by surveys that most shops are slow. Car count is up for the year. I need two more tech’s. That’s been a major challenge !

Just talked to Chevy dealer in town and he said service and parts were terrible in April.  My May is OK but still not where it should be as far as car count goes.  Anybody else seeing May car counts lower than expected?

      The Technician Shortage Is Our Fault, And It's Time We Own It
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog

      The Technician Shortage Is Our Fault, And It's Time We Own It
      Nearly every day, I hear shop owners complain: "There's a technician shortage. We can't find qualified people. There's no one out there." If that's true, then who's to blame?
      The industry? The schools? The government? I don't know how you feel, but who promised us an endless supply of qualified technicians?
      Another common complaint is that young people do not want to work in the trades. Well, if that were true, then why are other trades such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing growing? What are they doing that the automotive industry is not? 
      Here's the reality we need to face: We do have a problem, but we shouldn't look for someone or any entity to rescue us. Not the government. Not the trade schools. Not the recruiting companies. No one owes us a workforce. If we want great people in our industry, it's up to us. At some point, we need to own up to the truth: Building a pipeline of qualified technicians is our responsibility.
      In this blog article, I will break down the key reasons we are in this situation today and what we, as an industry, can do to solve the technician shortage. Are you ready to look in the mirror?
      Have We Pushed Technicians Away?
      Let's take a look at flat-rate pay. True flat rate, which pays a technician only for the hours they produce, is a controversial pay plan that emphasizes high production levels and creates a competitive work environment that, if not properly controlled, can lead to increased mistakes and a decline in morale and team spirit. Additionally, the stress and physical demands placed on technicians as they age are not favorable to long-term employee retention. What do we do with technicians as they grow older into their fifties and begin to slow down? 
      I have heard all the arguments and pros and cons of flat-rate pay, and I am not going to judge any pay plan. Let the facts speak for themselves. True flat rate has changed in most areas around the country and has evolved into a pay plan that gives technicians some pay guarantee.
      Many shop owners have learned that team morale, along with the opportunity to earn income, is important to technicians and to the company's long-term success. But let me ask you: how many technicians have left or been pushed out over the years because of the old flat-rate pay system?
      Another issue is the workplace environment. I remember being grateful to be hired as a young technician at a local repair shop. While very thankful, the work environment was not ideal. The shop owner kept the bay doors open year-round (I am from New York) unless it rained or snowed. He felt that if the bay doors were closed, customers might think we were closed for business. We had no heat and no hot water. Many of the jobs were done outside, year-round,  in all types of weather. The starting pay was minimum wage, with no benefits, sick days, or vacation pay. 
      Now, again, I need to point out that I was truly grateful for the opportunity this shop owner gave me. I learned a lot working there, and the experience was pivotal in my career. But looking back, I wonder how many people were discouraged by these working conditions?
      While the physical demands of the repair workplace are daunting, perhaps even more critical is the culture. Too many of my generation shop owners preached the mindset of "my way or the highway." We were the business owners, after all. We started our companies, took all the risks, and provided jobs. Why shouldn't we be the ones to set the ground rules our way?   
      Many of us found over the years that the "my way or the highway" mentality was a sure way to isolate employees and make them more likely to look over the fence for greener grass. In other words, it led many technicians to seek employment elsewhere, where they felt they could be appreciated and recognized for their hard work. The issue, however, was that there wasn't much green grass around. Disappointment after disappointment, bouncing from repair to repair shop, eventually led to despair. So, I ask you: were workplace conditions a contributing factor in today's technician shortage?
      Another factor that we are all well aware of is the complexity of the modern automobile. When I started, the work was mostly physical, and you were required to master essentially three vehicle models: General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. Let's fast-forward to today. The evolution of automotive technology, along with the extensive training and tools required, has outpaced the typical technician's pay compensation, with no clear career path. Again, leading to frustration and insecurity about the future.
      Here is the bottom line: people don't leave their job; they leave their experience. We must do a better job. 
      The News Isn't all Bad; Your Next Steps to Fix the Technician Shortage
      To fix the technician shortage, it will take a combined effort from everyone in the automotive industry, particularly automotive shop owners. Shop owners are in the perfect position to make the greatest impact, not only on their businesses but also on the future automotive workforce.
      First, shop owners must become better leaders and understand that their ultimate success is directly dependent on the people they assemble around them. Any shop owner who mistakenly believes they can build an empire solely on their abilities is destined for serious disappointment. Business owners who think like this will eventually plateau. Without the collective contributions from a team of qualified people, your business will stall; it will not continue to grow.
      Create a workplace that attracts top talent: a clean, professional, well-equipped facility designed to support productivity, teamwork, and a career, not just a job. Build a great reputation in your community by getting involved locally. Become the auto repair shop that people take notice of as "the" place to work.
      Next, shop owners must become more financially knowledgeable. Knowing your numbers and what you need to achieve for a strong bottom-line profit is essential to paying technicians the money they need and deserve. Profit will also allow you to compete with other trade industries by providing a benefits package that has real take-home value and security.
      When it comes to culture, this is where the rubber hits the road. People crave recognition, praise, and a sense of purpose. Despite what you hear, people are not just money-motivated. Once people feel secure in their financial situation, retaining and motivating technicians can only be achieved by connecting with them on an emotional level. You cannot show enough appreciation. Give out praise for a job well done as if your business depended on it, because it does.
      As technicians age, we need to have a place for them. Expecting a 58-year-old to perform like a 35-year-old is unrealistic. We need to be more focused on career pathing. Provide training, skill development, and coaching to develop leaders and mentors within our older workforce. While their bodies may have slowed, the knowledge they have gained is priceless. 
      Our future is dependent on young people entering our industry. We need to give more young people opportunities. Every shop owner across the country should consider hiring an apprentice, then build an apprentice training plan and career path for them. If every shop did this, we could solve the technician shortage within five years. Get involved with the trade schools and high schools in your area. Look into the NAPA Apprenticeship Program. Don't sit on your hands with this one. Do it today.
      Lastly, don't get left behind. Commit to ongoing training for all your employees. Keep up to date with tools and equipment tailored to your business model. Don't try to be all things to all people and all vehicles. Identify your core profile customer and the vehicles they drive, and become an expert on those vehicles and the services you offer.

      Stop Hiring in Panic Mode: Build a Recruiting Pipeline for Your Shop [RR 1094]
      By carmcapriotto
      Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Host Carm Capriotto welcomes Chris Lawson, founder of Technician Find, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing independent auto repair shops today: finding and keeping great technicians.
      Chris explains why many shop owners fall into what he calls "fire alarm syndrome," waiting until a technician leaves before starting the hiring process. That reactive approach often leads to rushed decisions, poor hires, and ongoing turnover. Instead, he advocates for an "Always Be Recruiting" mindset, where shops continuously build relationships with potential candidates long before they have an opening.
      The conversation explores practical strategies for becoming a destination workplace, creating a recruiting pipeline, and building a culture that attracts top talent in a competitive market.
      What You'll Learn Why reactive hiring creates costly staffing problems How to build a bench of pre-qualified technicians before you need them Why becoming "10-mile famous" can help attract both technicians and customers How culture-focused marketing can outperform traditional help-wanted ads The three things technicians value most: respect, growth, and compensation Why sign-on bonuses often fail and how to structure them more effectively Practical ways to engage passive candidates who are not actively job hunting Resources available through Chris Lawson's free online community for shop owners
      The best time to recruit a technician is before you need one. Shops that continuously market their culture, build relationships with local talent, and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates are better positioned to grow, avoid staffing emergencies, and create a workplace where top technicians want to stay. Recruiting is no longer an occasional task. It is an ongoing business strategy. Chris Lawson, TechnicianFind.Com Love your shop? Stay, but stay ready.

      Is Your Shop the Problem? Hard Truths from the Voice of the Technician Survey Results [RR 1084]
      By carmcapriotto
      Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Host Carm Capriotto speaks with Jay Goninen, co-founder and president of WrenchWay, about insights from the 2026 Voice of the Technician Survey and what it reveals about the state of the automotive workforce.
      Jay encourages shop owners to download the free report to uncover blind spots and start meaningful conversations with their teams. The data show that technicians strongly prefer a four-day, 10-hour workweek with no weekends, along with proper equipment, paid vacation, retirement benefits, and paid training.
      While dealership technicians made up a larger share of respondents, independents stood out in workplace culture. 63% of independent technicians would recommend their shop to a friend, compared to 36% at dealerships, though dealerships scored higher in providing paid training. Across both groups, technicians favor an hourly wage plus bonus structure, which many feel better supports diagnosticians than traditional flat-rate systems.
      The discussion also highlights a troubling trend: the industry’s Net Promoter Score dropped to -60 in 2026, signaling that many technicians would not recommend the profession to others.
      To strengthen the talent pipeline, Jay discusses ASE Connects, a new initiative aimed at connecting shops with high school and technical school automotive programs to support them through mentorship, advisory roles, and community engagement.
      Carm also advocates elevating the profession by shifting the language from “mechanic” or “technician” to “specialist,” emphasizing the expertise required to work on today’s vehicles.
      Overall, the episode serves as a wake-up call for shop owners to use the survey insights to evaluate their culture, communication, and work environments, and to become employers technicians are proud to recommend.
