When is a new service advisor really ready? In SDR #325, Chris & Christian break down training timelines, feedback loops, and why rushing onboarding ruins more advisors than it helps.

Plus, industry updates on Ford recalls, Nissan’s struggles, and more. We also tackle one of the most common questions in the service drive: how long does it actually take to get a new service advisor up to speed? Is it 6 months? A year? Or is there no set timeline at all?

Chris & Christian also reveal why “one-size-fits-all” training doesn’t work—and how dealerships can create smarter onboarding systems that build confidence, boost CSI, and keep advisors around for the long haul.

We also cover:

- Why there’s no universal timeline for training advisors

- How feedback loops and gradual workload increases build lasting success

- Leadership lessons on hosting, culture, and Top Dog Live prep

- Industry news: Nissan plant closure, Ford F-150 recall, and rising brand loyalty

If you’re serious about building a high-performing service team—and want to avoid burning out new hires before they’re ready—you won’t want to miss this one.
