Automotive Industry Opportunities and Obstacles Feat. Bogi and EricTheCarGuy

In this video Bogi from All Girls Garage, EricTheCarGuy, and Humble Mechanic chat about the automotive industry. How and why we went to tech school, what opportunities it gave us as technicians, the struggles for techs, and what the future might hold for auto mechanics. Thanks to Universal Technical Institute for helping make this possible. Also this is only part of our 3+ hour chat about the industry. I am working on editing the audio so I can post that for you guys too. There was a lot we covered and I think you guys are going to love it. Be sure to share this, and check out Bogi and Eric if you don’t already.

The 5 BEST Ways to Stand Out as a Technician ~ Audio Podcast 69

The 5 BEST Ways to Stand Out as a Technician ~ Audio Podcast 69

00:00 / 15:24

Hey everyone. Today we are going to look at 5 things a technician can do to stand out to a customer. These are ways to stand out in a positive way. How to bring a little extra valve to what you do. The end goal is to earn a customer for life. With these little tweaks, you and set yourself on a great path to a huge customer base. You don’t have to follow all of these tips. Heck you don’t have to follow any of them. But these are a few of the things I used over the years to set myself apart from other techs. This will help you stand out to customers, and to me that is the most important thing. But if you have promotions on your mind, and in your goals list, use this to stand out to management too.

5 Tips of Starting an Automotive Repair Shop ~ Featuring Bogi

00:00 / 13:03

Want to start a repair shop? Moving from being a technician to a shop owner? What do you need to know before starting your own shop? Today Bogi from All Girls Garage joins me with 5 tips to starting your own automotive repair shop. This is something many of us technicians consider at some point in our career. I have personally seen a good amount of techs go out and start a shop. Many actually do really well. But there are always lessons that are learned the hard way. I prefer to learn from someone else’s mistakes. They are less painful.

This episode of the Humble Mechanic Podcast, we are chatting about the state of the shop. This is where we dive into what is happening right now in the VW world. This comes from an on the ground level. Not the stuff that is pumped out from the media. Think of this as the unfiltered version of what dealerships are seeing, and fixing. And one final thing, the only thing worse than moving your box at the shop, moving it home. LOL
