I pay for all the training costs but not the time they spend there. I figure they should have a little skin in the game as it benefits us both the same. I have never had any push back on this.

14S05 Escape Steering Recall.
kslade replied to tmshannon's topic in Auto Repair Shop Management Help? Start Here
I spent allot of time in the dealer world, so here are some thoughts. You should document everything that you did including the codes that you got and give it to your customer. She should call customer support and explain that she is still having steering problems and let them know she was never at the dealer that replaced the sensor under recall. Tell her to be very nice no matter how she feels, this will go a long way with the Ford rep. Also she could say she feels very unsafe driving the car because of lost steering. Good luck, hope it goes well for her and you. -
TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, WHAT ARE PEOPLE USING?
kslade replied to sparkerauto's topic in Automotive Parts & Suppliers
I have been using VDO Redi-Sensors, no problems and they are a decent price. Do not do enough of them to stock any. -
I have been using this one http://www.flodynamicssalesandservice.com/FloDynamics/Coolant/CVAC3.html for the last couple of years. Very few problems and works very well.

Partner or Employee?

If you have the startup money think about buying a shop that is already in business. I have over 35 years in the business and that is what I did, you have cash flow and employees to start then you can fine tune it to the way you want it done and run. Good luck and keep reading here from all the professionals who can help you sort out all the kinks you will encounter.
