Key Talking Points

  • Shop owners must understand that it is time that someone has to pay attention, educate and protect your clients as it relates to ownership and access to their data. Privacy, Data Ownership and Cyber-security.
  • Policy makers don’t understand how data affects repairs
    • We must ensure that our policymakers don’t overreact or reach too far.
    • We need to be careful because once the bill gets signed it will take the next five years for them to revisit it. We will be stuck with that policy
  • Data Access, Think Telematics?
    • One of the pieces not covered in the 12-year right repair service information battle
    • As a shop owner, we hear it but we don’t know what it’s all about 
    • The legislation issues concerning Privacy, Data Ownership and Cyber-security.
  • Cyber-security protections are growing in California
  • A major concern as an industry is overreach and we are collateral damage
  • In an effort to protect consumers, the policymakers go too far.
  • Regarding privacy, there must be some separations
    • 3rd party providers
    • OEM Websites
  • We don’t want anything to interfere with our current business model.
  • The industry must get behind efforts being mounted in Washington
    • Developing coalition, Writing campaign, and Visits to Washington
    • Part of this is also education when the policymakers go home, they must hear from shop owners and understand that access is critical for the consumer and to maintain safe and reliable transportation
  • The previous Administration ordered a guideline for cyber-security which allowed for 50 state laws potentially dealing with our issues which is not workable
  • We need the Federal Government to lay out  guidelines for cyber and privacy
  • Owners with multiple shops will have problems if their shops are located at different states.

California Bill

  • It is about dealing with consumer privacy.
  • A bill passed last summer is going to impact businesses
  • This could happen to different states
  • Michigan tapped into this

Privacy is important

  • Consumers deserve privacy
  • Within the framework of a vehicle, rolling smart technology privacy becomes a huge issue
  • We need to have a reasonable and effective way to handle the motoring fleet
  • Some consumers do not want delicate data on their vehicles shared
  • Insurance companies now have access to some data through 3rd party providers
  • As an aftermarket, we need to be involved, at a reasonable cost, in order to fix these vehicles as we have without compromising our business model.
  • $450 – $800 Billion Dollar Industry regarding 3rd party data monitoring cloud-based

Cyber-security

  • On the root level, protecting your WiFi
  • Having a process as it comes as a security policy
  • OEMs have to provide shop owners a path
  • Everyone is trying to figure out their place as we move forward including new car dealers
  • Privacy piece will drive everything and data access will have to be addressed at some point

      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.
