The future of Louisville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram looks bright! This is by far the best group of technicians our shop has ever had, and I have been blessed to work with. With quite a bit of blood, sweat, and tears, we’ve completely flipped the culture of our business. The dealership model simply does not work without technicians. At the end of the day, our processes, our software, parts department, and even our sales department simply would not be able to function without a reliable team of individuals that are able to navigate some of the most complicated technical issues. Company culture is defined from the top down. However, it is brought to life from the ground up. None of this could’ve been possible without the enthusiasm and the energy that Ryker Salazar and Luis Cordova show up with every single day!

Jaguar Land Rover UK Paul Hendy perhaps either of you can give me an explanation for the following. My Landrover Discovery was called in for a security update to Hendy Landrover in Southampton. Hendy refused to carry out the security update as there was no spare key present (something JLR UK client care has informed me is not the case) Since that time my Discovery was stolen, no shock really as it’s widely published how poor the security is on all Landrover vehicles. What am I left with? - No car, and a offer of a payout ￡15k less than its value 1 year ago (prices have plummeted as many insurers won’t cover JLR vehicles or premiums being offered are through the roof) - An increase in my fleet policy of ￡8000 p/a due to the claim for the stolen discovery Is it not about time JLR started compensating people for their losses for what is an known fault with the security on their vehicles. Aside from the above: I had an issue with the alarm, which JLR & Hendy couldn’t rectify under warranty for 3 months. I won’t mention the ￡800+ Hendy wanted to charge me for one replacement tyre that was available at every other reputable tire outlet for ￡250!!!! My advice, avoid JLR and avoid Hendy Group #hendygroup #JLR #Landroverdiscovery #jaguarlandroveruk #JLRUK #HendyJLR

It wasn't my first day at the dealership, but my first Saturday working in the BDC alone. It was the first snow for the year and the phone was ringing off the hook with customers wanting to book for tire swaps. I broke a dealership record for appointment booked by one agent in a day. I still think about it on the first snow each year. So do you have a interesting first day in the automotive world? #AutomotiveLife #DealershipStories #TeamDriveHRIS

In the movies, race car drivers win on the straightaways. In real life, race car drivers win because they are faster in the turns. The business lesson? Everyone can go fast when things are easy. But the real test of any company is how it handles the harder turns. These are normal. We all face them. The key is learning how to go fast through them.

Shaheen Automotive Group believes providing free tools will help recruit and retain mechanics. Dave Wright?wants to change two things at the dealership group where he works before pulling the curtain on his long automotive service career. One change he wants to make is to provide alternatives to flat rate pay schedules for technicians. His other goal, which is about to be scratched off the list, is to provide free tools to the wrench turners in his shops. Shaheen Automotive Group, in Lansing, Mich., debuted a free tool program in its body shop this spring. The plan is to roll it out to the main service shop and to collision paint techs next. The group sells Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC brands. Free tools in each bay The tool program is simple. When a tech shows up in their?service bay, a full set of tools is there for them to use for as long as they work at Shaheen. If they leave, the tools stay put. The set includes all hand and air tools required for any repair, including electric vehicles. "Our plan is to provide every tool you'll need to be successful," said?fixed operations?director Wright, who has spent nearly 40 years in the industry — 29 with Shaheen. "My CFO asked, what if a 20-year journeyman with his massive toolbox says, 'I want to take part in the program,' I'm fine with that because I think we should provide that for our people. I know it's a very substantial investment, but it's an investment in their future and it's an investment in our future." The shortage of automotive technicians has plagued dealership service and parts operations for years. TechForce Foundation estimates nearly 500,000 auto techs are needed to fill openings. There are numerous programs around the country to train more technicians. Wright and Shaheen think taking away the burden of buying tools will appeal to prospective technicians. Pricey sets A full toolbox for a main shop?technician?is about $40,000. For a collision tech, a full set of tools is $35,000, while tools for a body shop painter cost about $8,500. Wright said automotive is the rare trade where workers are expected to provide their own tools. That alone can turn potential technicians away and into another line of work. "I think it's preventing a lot of young people from entering our industry," he said. "You talk to prospective applicants and then tell them, 'You'll need about $40,000 worth of tools.' Where are they going to get that money from? The tool companies all have?financing?plans but that's where the problems can begin." Wright said some techs tend to disappear on test drives when the tool truck shows up at the dealership because their weekly payment is due and they don't have the money. "In most families, both the husband and wife work because of the cost of living these days," he said. "Tools are just not something that is part of their budget."
