@elitevoicetv: This fellow technician sent me this video of him and a service writer getting into an altercation. His story is that the service writer never calls the customers so he would wait for long periods of time to for approvals and lose money for having to put things back together from lack of communication with the writer. He also told me he started calling the customer himself because the writer wouldn’t and he was tired of waiting to get work done. The writer didn’t like that but i dont blame him. Please take care of your technicians and as writers lets communicate with the technicians and also call the customers in a timely manner for our techs. #automotivetechnician #mechanic #carservice #cardealership #automotive #mechaniclife
That is so true. The service writer gets paid by the hour and don't care about the Technician. Been there

I'll admit, I don't wait. quote goes to the advisor, I do any pre-approved work. car comes off the rack. and I move on to the next job.

Anyone else get the “I can’t be too pushy if they leave me a bad review my paychecks affected”? Because my paycheck is affected by the lack of work.

The one shop I worked at had the service writers as commission so they only made real money if they sold jobs. I’ve never seen such hard working people

Yeah, Im an advisor as well, except for a semi shop. Honestly, they get the estimate, they say yes or no. They always try negotiating. So I say yes or no again, if not leave we have tons waiting

I’m an advisor trainer and I agree with rambling comment…he didn’t call. Calls for upsell/update from tech should be made within 15 minutes of rec!
