You can change the pump oil // make sure lines are not restriced . This unit has a smaller pump on it they make strnger pumps 4cfm or better.

I may be selling a pump if you decide you need it. try changing pump oil first

Hey thanks .Whats a stringer pump? I looked inside and theres a big black refridge looking pump made by Americold.Are you saying that that one doesn,t do the vacum?Because I thought I read somwhere else that that type of pump/compressor wasn,t going to do much vacum.And I also thought I read somewhere that these recovery uints had a seprate pump.But what does the other pump look like ?Is it real small?I,ll have to look againAnd Where canI find a pump.You mentioned you might have one?

      Raising Labor Rates and Prices May Not Achieve Profitability
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         13 comments
      Most shop owners would agree that the independent auto repair industry has been too cheap for too long regarding its pricing and labor rates. However, can we keep raising our labor rates and prices until we achieve the profit we desire and need? Is it that simple?
      The first step in achieving your required gross and net profit is understanding your numbers and establishing the correct labor and part margins. The next step is to find your business's inefficiencies that impact high production levels.
      Here are a few things to consider. First, do you have the workflow processes in place that is conducive to high production? What about your shop layout? Do you have all the right tools and equipment? Do you have a continuous training program in place? Are technicians waiting to use a particular scanner or waiting to access information from the shop's workstation computer?
      And lastly, are all the estimates written correctly? Is the labor correct for each job? Are you allowing extra time for rust, older vehicles, labor jobs with no parts included, and the fact that many published labor times are wrong? Let's not forget that perhaps the most significant labor loss is not charging enough labor time for testing, electrical work, and other complicated repairs.  
      Once you have determined the correct labor rate and pricing, review your entire operation. Then, tighten up on all those labor leaks and inefficiencies. Improving production and paying close attention to the labor on each job will add much-needed dollars to your bottom line.

      By carmcapriotto
      Erich and Lauralee Schmidt went to a 4 day work week during COVID and haven't looked back. They also have an app for their shop with benefits to customers.
      Erich and Lauralee Schmidt, Schmidt Auto Care, Springboro, OH    Show Notes:  
      4 day work week- exhaustion during COVID, started cutting Fridays with three day weekends. Prefaced it as summer hours and would go back to 5 days in the fall. They never went back to 5 day work week. Revenue, productivity, and efficiency increased. 8-7 pm work hours. The check-in process includes 4 day work week schedule.  40 hours of training a year minimum- observing efficiency, open communication, partnering with employees with their training. Training is a requirement when hiring employees. “Where are your interests?” Service Advisor=Serice Specialist  Free Schmidt Auto Care App- started 6 years, App Fueled is a customizable garage for clients and a bevy of services outside of just communication. Special pricing, birthday specials, loyalty touch points. 30% of the customer base has the app.  Had ADAS for 3 years, one of the first in the area to get it. Program and calibration.

      Forget the Past: Focus on the Future [THA 310]
      By carmcapriotto
      "Forget the Past: Focus on the Future"...sometimes easier said than done. The past is familiar and comfortable. We can also get hung up on our past mistakes, which hinders us from moving forward. Listen to 3 shop owners share their perspectives on the past and the future of the automotive industry.
      Watch Episode HERE
      Frank Scandura, Frank’s European Service, Las Vegas, NV. Frank’s previous episodes HERE. Al Wright, John’s Automotive, Cedar Rapids, IA. Al's previous episodes HERE Jimmy Alauria, 3A Automotive and Diesel Repair, Phoenix, AZ. Jimmy’s previous episodes HERE
      Show Notes:
      Don't be afraid of change, what we did in the past or how we did it may not work today. Take care of yourself and let go of old habits. Be healthy and reset! Service advisor is now 4 different jobs: customer service rep, parts manager, service manager What is your break even point? It's not the 'cost' of the service advisor position, the biggest expense is what you are currently doing and what you could and should be doing. Everyone hates change, but the only constant in life is change- lean into change. Hiring top talent vs. Creating top talent- Are "A" technicians made? Have grace when someone makes a mistake Don't get analysis paralysis. Don't let past mistakes stop needed changes for the future. Doing something is better than doing nothing.
