Auto Repair Coach

John Burkhauser

John is an Auto Repair Specialist with over 30 years of experience—with expertise ranging from A Level and ASE Certified Master Technician, to Shop Foreman, Advisor and Shop Manager, to Automotive Trade School Instructor, Writer, and now Director of Education.

As Foreman of a 30-bay facility, he developed many processes to increase tech productivity that helped the shop rank #1 in the “Fix It Right the First Time” category for 5 straight years.

His direction as Service Advisor and Manager taught his team to embrace the full customer experience, leading to consistent increases in revenue per average repair order.

Now, as Director of Education at BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY, John coaches independent & franchise repair facilities on how to grow their business through the use of simple best practices and everyday technology, resulting in increased car count, repair order revenue, and customer trust.
