Hiring

[spencersauto]

We've been searching for a new lube technician since October and I am beginning to wonder if we will ever find someone. We have had at least 5 not show for an interview, a few that showed up late and the best one was doing a working interview and never came back. If this a preview of what we have to look forward to with this generation of up and coming individuals wanting to get into the autmotive industry, then we are doomed.

Maybe it is time to stop doing lof.

Maybe it is time to start doing only  factory recommended , time and mileage based services.

We are the only shop in town so removing from our services would be a disadvantage on our end. We've seen a large increase in sales since we added courtesy inspections to oil changes and repairs. If we don't do it some quick lube will and will also sell them the maintenance while they are there.

There is a local quick lube that is using a temp agent for staffing because they cannot find people. 

I may need to check on that option. Thanks!

Take your car the quick lube and watch the guy(s) do your service, of he does good offer him a job, you will most likely pay better.

Plus the oil change is the most important service, because it allows you to get the vehicle up in the air, to perform inspection.   That is the loss lead, to the Steak and Potatoes feast.  I would never not offer an oil change.
