That would be amazing! If they would enforce it! We actually had a motel that had a couple fatalities including a child a while back due to carbon monoxide leaks from the pool heater. The contractor had complaints saying he wasn't licensed - no action was taken until the deaths.

The last thing we need is more government input. LIcense require more money we have to pass along to our customer. Don't think a $100 once every 2 years is all its going to take. It will all $tart with board member$. Then they will set up $upervisor$ who need $ecratarie$ to run the $taff. This $taff will I$$ue, In$pect and enforce the regulation$. All of which will require $alerie$, in$urance and benefit$.

 

Remember when the government took over the whore house and went bankrupt selling booze and blowjobs?

I have no problem with it. The problem I have is that the state is broke and there will probably be no enforcement. That means I will have a license and the guy down the street who rips people off won't . Nothing will change because there is no teeth in it. I may be proven wrong, but history tends to repeat itself.

Exactly right.

      The Toolbox is Last to Leave, First is the Heart
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         0 comments
      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, Coach Chris Cotton from Auto Fix Auto Shop Coaching delivers an inspiring message aimed at empowering auto repair shop owners to break through self-imposed barriers and unlock their full potential as effective business leaders. Throughout the discussion, he emphasizes the critical importance of cultivating a positive mindset, maintaining accountability, and taking bold, decisive actions to achieve one's dreams within the auto repair industry. Chris underscores the notion that the most significant obstacles shop owners face are often internal rather than external, suggesting that self-doubt and fear can hinder progress more than any market condition or competition.


      To combat these internal challenges, Chris advocates for the transformative power of coaching, which can provide fresh perspectives and a structured framework for accountability. He believes that having a coach can help shop owners see their businesses from a new angle, identify areas for improvement, and stay committed to their goals. This external support can be crucial in helping them navigate the complexities of running a successful auto repair shop.


      The episode is sponsored by Shop Marketing Pros, highlighting the essential role that tailored marketing strategies play in supporting the growth and success of auto repair shops. By leveraging targeted marketing efforts, shop owners can effectively reach their desired audience, enhance their brand visibility, and ultimately drive more business. The sponsorship underscores the synergy between effective coaching and strategic marketing, both of which are vital components in the journey toward achieving sustained success in the auto repair industry.
