A local GM Dealer is decreasing the tech hours for the third time this year. All techs were hired and required to work a 40 hour week, would get paid for 40, with bonus for flagged hours above the guarentee.

 

That 40-hour guarantee dropped to 35 this past spring and now will drop to 32. But the techs are still required to be there for the 40 hours. Also, the service advisors got two pay cuts this year.

 

Please do not ask me the name of the new car dealer, I was asked to keep the name anonymous. The source is credible and reliable.

 

Is anyone else around the country hearing this from other dealerships?

I had that experience working for the dealership. Not that they intensionally cut our hours but there just wasn't the work. Do they think that people will continue to work there for less money?

Well, some may leave, but people are creatures of habbit and are fearfull of the unknown. Sometimes, it's the devil you know. I think, those techs without family obligations will be more inclined to jump ship, but those with a wife and kids may hang in there in hopes of better times.

we used to be 10 techs at my local Acura dealership, they are now down to 7, and when i payed them a visit this last June, 3 were home for a few weeks because work was that low !

I had a parts guy for a local Toyota dealer tell me last week they were laying off four techs. That will leave the dealership three techs. Two years ago they had 10.
