We do a lot of pick up and drop off but we stay within our town for the most part. It is must to do in my area. I will say this get a credit card before picking it up you will eventually get burned if you trust them to come in and pay. As for the the mobile car tire service I have seen companies do this before. They normally do not last that long maybe a year. I know one of the biggest problems is keeping the balancer in calibration from all the bouncing around it does in the back of the truck. Even though it is bolted down.

Frogfinder Yes he has started and he is doing great

Thanks for all the help guys. I finally found a tech. I ended up stealing him from my biggest competitor. He is a ASE certified master. We have always been a tires and undercar shop so I am really excited about him bring us to the next level.

Joe, What have you done in the past that has worked. I have been thinking of putting a welcome to the area oil change in with the welcome packet at my local Chamber.

We offer probably the best benefit package in the area. I will admit we were know for lower pay but I have been able to get that up.

Thank you for all the ideas. I have tried many of these and nothing is working. I'm getting worried that if I don't find someone by the 31st I will have to shut my auto bays down.

I'm direct with many manufactures so I only use them when it is a must have I can't get need it asap situation. As for customers that bring in tires they bought on Tire Rack I normally get a extra $10.00 per tire above my normal rate for mounting them. My reasoning for this is if there is an adjustment situation with a tire from tire rack chances are I'm the one going have to go though all the paperwork to get it handled. Also by the time the customer pays for the tires and shipping did they really save anything.

I'm a newer manager for a tire and service center. My current tech just gave me his 3 week notice. My problem is finding a new tech. I tried a few months ago to add another tech, and after running the add for 2 months I only had 2 guys that came in and they were both back yard mechanics. My question to you is. How do you find your tech's. short of stealing one I have ran out of ideas.
