When I started my auto repair shop in 1980, it was typical to work at the shop 50 to 70 hours a week. More than half of that time was working on cars. I kept that work pace for over a decade. I know that many shop owners of my generation did the same thing.
That's all changed now. And for the better. More shop owners today understand that their leadership roles are critical to their success and the best strategy for the welfare and development of their employees.
Jump to the link below for a few quick stats on the different roles of today's shop owner.

With high inflation appearing to be an issue for the foreseeable future, I feel it is critical for shop owners to continue to promote the value and benefits of doing business with you.
Are your customers holding off on needed services or repairs? How are shops dealing with inflation? And don't forget, inflation affects YOU too.

What do you do when one of your techs say, "Hey boss, the shop down the street just offered me $5.00 more an hour than what you are paying me."
This actually happened recently to a fellow shop owner friend of mine. And, it's happening a lot more these days due to the tech shortage.
Do you match it? Do you sit down and talk to the tech, persuade him or her to stay because money is not everything? Or do you tell the tech, make your own decision? Or, do you put a plan together TODAY to avoid this from happening in the Future?
Your thoughts?

Are you seeing a decrease in consumer driving? Do you think this will hurt the summer season when so many people plan road trips, that help auto repair shops with all the related services and repairs?
Lastly, what's your plan to help your customers, and also help you to maintain sales during the road trip, and vacation season?
