@curtisagardner: Techs don’t hate video inspections. They hate doing extra work for nothing. Flat rate is time and output. No return? No reason. Train them to make videos that convert, not just talk. #TechGnarr #FlatRate #VideoInspection #MechanicLife #AutoTech #ShopTalk #FixedOps #CarRepair #TechnicianMindset #AutoShopLife #SkilledTrades #EfficiencyMatters #TechTalk #WrenchLife #AutomotiveTraining
I make 150-180 plus hours every week you think you can teach me how to make a video and make more hours ?

Easier just to pay the technician a certain amount of time to perform the videos.

What's the point of an advisor if the tech needs sales training ?

The same regurgitated dealer group nonsense that’s been spoken for 15 years. Facts are tech pay is down overall. With more responsibilities. Your CSI scores are down bc you lost all of your tenured technicians with required video inspections, plummeting book times and convoluted warranty approval processes. Stop pointing fingers elsewhere.

How about the advisors come out and do the digital walk arounds. Do the warranty stories. Look up op codes. So the techs can get back to fixing cars and not messing with pictures. 😅

notice he didn't say the tech needs to get paid for the time to do video, no we should be gratefull the sales the video generates. also we dont get paid commissions we get flat rate, we would be better off getting commission of an ro

Goofygoober2427 :
easy fix, pay salary or hourly and the techs will do anything you want them to. The loss of productivity because of video inspections will be on the dealerships head at that time.

The industry will need to start paying for these drawn out DVIs. From what I've experienced, the ROI on them is horribly inconsistent and not worth it.

Don’t service advisors make more than techs?

this is corporate propaganda! flat rate techs doing free rack inspections and free videos, free quotes, explain to parts what they need after videos are taken, then helping the advisor sell the job is simply "slave labor" the shareholders benefit from, not the customer. these places are generally run by married individuals having extra marital affairs with their subordinates and paying their friends top dollar to literally steal as much from a customer as can be taken. EVEN IN THIS VIDEO THEY ADMIT IT IS A WASTE OF TIME! corporations are the new plantations.

we get .2 for every video we make. this not only benefits the technician it benefits the dealership. More money the tech makes the more the dealership makes on a larger scale. if the techs buy into it by getting paid a little bit it makes everything work even better!

It honestly should be a benefit if anything, if they don’t try to sell it themselves and you have decent advisors up front then they’ll see the approvals they’re looking for. We do a “% Bonus” on top of it

The two biggest scams that employers do are flat rate employees without a guarentee and servers base pay
