The Brakes for Breasts campaign, every October, supports breast cancer vaccine research at the Cleveland Clinic. The co-founders of the campaign, Leigh Anne Best and Laura Frank, discuss the importance of finding a cause that aligns with their values and the challenges of funding vaccine research. They discuss the initiative and how it raises funds for breast cancer research by offering free brake pads to customers in October. Dr. Justin Johnson from the Cleveland Clinic talks about the importance of a vaccine trial for triple negative breast cancer. Jennifer Davis, the first recipient of the vaccine trial, shares her experience. Our panel emphasizes the importance of community support and the potential of the vaccine trial to revolutionize cancer treatment. We are challenging the industry to reach a goal of $369,000 or even $400,000 for this year and to involve at least 500 shops. This is a simple and effective program to offer to your customer and to anyone involved to tour the lab and see the impact of their contributions.

      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.

      **Podcast Episode Summary: The Weekly Blitz with Coach Chris Cotton**
      In this engaging episode of "The Weekly Blitz," Coach Chris Cotton, a renowned auto repair business coach, delves into the essential elements that contribute to becoming the premier auto repair shop in your community. Coach Cotton begins by emphasizing the significance of establishing a culture of accountability within the workplace. He explains that when each team member takes responsibility for their actions and outcomes, it creates a foundation for success and continuous improvement.
      Furthermore, Coach Cotton discusses the importance of fostering teamwork among employees. He suggests that a collaborative environment not only enhances efficiency and productivity but also boosts morale and job satisfaction. By encouraging open communication and mutual support, team members are more likely to work together towards common goals, ultimately benefiting the business as a whole.
      Delivering an exceptional customer experience is another key focus of the episode. Coach Cotton points out that while having the latest tools and offering competitive prices are important, they are not the sole determinants of success. Instead, he argues that true excellence is achieved when every employee is committed to maintaining high standards and consistently exceeding customer expectations. This dedication to quality service helps build a strong reputation and encourages repeat business.
      Coach Cotton also highlights the critical role of leadership in cultivating a positive and productive workplace culture. Effective leaders set the tone for the organization, modeling the behaviors and attitudes they wish to see in their team. By providing clear direction, support, and recognition, leaders can inspire their employees to strive for excellence in every aspect of their work.
      Finally, Coach Cotton underscores the importance of building trust and loyalty with customers. He explains that every interaction with a customer is an opportunity to reinforce their confidence in the business. By consistently delivering on promises and addressing any concerns promptly and professionally, auto repair shops can establish long-lasting relationships with their clients, ensuring sustained success in a competitive market.
