Episode 72: The Dumbest Thing We’ve Ever Heard


Listen Later


We’ve been reading articles about the impending doom caused by the lack of automotive technicians, and in our research might have found the dumbest statement ever made by someone on the topic. One article stated that, “some service managers are penalizing fast working technicians by not letting them move onto another job until the book time on their previous repair has elapsed.” Have you ever heard of such a thing? That is a serious question actually, have you ever heard of a shop that won't let a technician work on another car until the book time on one they’re working on presently has elapsed? That would literally be defeating the point of flat rate and we cant see how any shop that operated in such a way could possibly stay open. At the end of the day experts need to address the real reasons why people are leaving this industry, or they are completely failing in doing their jobs. Also Uncle Jimmy references some college majors that shouldn’t exist but actually do. This episode was made possible by our listeners, the members of the Grease the Wheels Nation. It was also made possible by donations over at patreon.com/greasethewheels! We have plans and perks over there for everyone, from the new lot kid at $1/month for basic access to some of our exclusive content and our discord server, to our Master Tech program that gets you all sorts of awesome perks with some of our sponsors and killer swag.
