where to find good techs?

[carbtech72]

im in desperate need of a good A tech. Ive tried using craigslist and have lost patience dealing with the parade of drunken losers that have been answering my ad. What is so hard about understanding "Experienced only"???????? I'm more than willing to pay for a good tech. I just cant find one. Anyone have any input?

I've posted on Indeed.com with better results than Craigslist........

word of mouth works very well talk to the tool guys and other techs.

I'm located in rural upstate NY. Would indeed.com work here ? Until recently i had never even heard of it.

Word of mouth works best, but I do like the tool guy idea. Have him keep an ear out for you. Techs are always looking for better shops.

I have poor talent in my area. The good ones are usually out for their own hustle. I like the idea of importing techs from other states. NYCers are just not good quality people LOL

Agreed. We were in St. John in the Caribbean a few years ago, and I met a tech at a small shop down there (actually, I think the only shop on the island). I asked him where he was from, and he said, MICHIGAN! I was shocked and asked him how he landed a tech job in paradise. He said he saw an ad online, and he just flew down and started working.

 

Nice geography change!!

Also check with local parts stores, their outside sales guys or the manager. Sometimes there are guys that are always doing work for other people.
