      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      In this episode of "The Weekly Blitz," Coach Chris Cotton from Auto Fix Auto Shop Coaching provides an in-depth exploration of managing parts costs in auto repair businesses, a critical aspect of maintaining profitability and efficiency. He begins by outlining effective strategies for handling core returns, which are essential for recouping costs and maintaining good relationships with suppliers. Chris emphasizes the importance of having a systematic approach to managing new part returns, ensuring that any defective or unnecessary parts are returned promptly to avoid unnecessary expenses.
      Furthermore, Chris highlights the significance of a well-organized receiving process. By implementing clear procedures and assigning accountability, auto repair shops can minimize errors and streamline operations. This organized approach not only reduces costs but also enhances the overall workflow within the shop.
      In addition to parts management, Chris discusses the often-overlooked area of shop supplies. He stresses the need for careful monitoring and management of these supplies to prevent waste and ensure that they contribute positively to the shop's bottom line. Implementing a structured parts matrix is another key strategy Chris recommends. This matrix helps in setting appropriate pricing levels for parts, ensuring that the shop remains competitive while also maintaining healthy profit margins.
      Chris also underscores the necessity of regularly evaluating these processes. By doing so, auto repair businesses can adapt to market trends and inflation, ensuring that their strategies remain effective and relevant in a constantly changing industry landscape.
      Sponsored by Shop Marketing Pros, the episode also highlights the critical role of effective marketing strategies for auto repair shops. Chris points out that in addition to managing costs, attracting and retaining customers through strategic marketing is vital for the long-term success of any auto repair business. The sponsorship by Shop Marketing Pros serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of operational efficiency and marketing prowess in driving business growth.
