Vehicular data is important for various reasons ranging from collisions to communications and safety. With the advancement in technologies and improved automated driving functions, data and vehicle information is vital to the future of the aftermarket.

My guest is Joe Register who is the Vice-President Emerging Technologies at Auto Care. This is his second interview. His first episode was episode 381 which talks about SVI (Secure Vehicle Interface). In this episode, we discuss the technologies and features that keep consumers safe. With a focus on calibration and self-calibration, we speak to the vehicle data privacy and the investment in ADAS calibration training and equipment among others.  

Joe Register has over 40 years of experience delivering progressive system solutions to companies in every channel of the Automotive Aftermarket. This work includes the design and implementation of enterprise systems for two startup ventures.

Joe participates as an ANSI expert assigned to ISO TC22 Road Vehicles, ISO TC204 Intelligent Transport Systems and SAE vehicle security committees. His current focus is the industry’s adoption of secure and standardized access to in-vehicle systems to ensure today’s increasingly complex vehicles can be properly maintained and repaired.

One of his specialties are Strategic planning, program management, systems architecture/modeling disciplines applicable to business processes, data and application integration, web service design & development.   Listen to Joe’s other episodes HERE.

      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.

      With slower days becoming common, many shops have turned to short-term fixes. Our host Craig O’Neill advocates for a long-term retention strategy that emphasizes relationships.
      In this episode, Craig breaks things down in three parts.  First he explains how he came to embrace the term “Client Relating Capability,” and the influencers who’s lessons helped him solidify his feelings on this point into more easily articulated thoughts and beliefs.  Next, he introduces the concepts from an old article from 2003 (which is still surprisingly relevant today).  Lastly - this episode introduces the term and breaks down three essential components of Client Relating Capability:
      Orientation – Creating a business structure that prioritizes meaningful client relationships. Configuration – Designing workflows and incentives that facilitate connection. Use of Information – Utilizing CRM and data wisely to support, not replace, genuine relationships.
      Craig highlights common industry pitfalls, including overreliance on technology and CRM tools that often fail without proper leverage. He also addresses the latest trend of AI in client management, exploring its limits and the importance of human connection.
      Listeners are invited to rethink their relationship-building strategies and consider how to truly cultivate loyalty. Craig emphasizes that technology can support but should never replace the human element in client relationships.
      This term - Craig hopes, becomes a familiar and foundational principle that will guide many more topics aimed at improving how we communicate as an industry.
