@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

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

We don’t hate the videos we hate that they keep adding more things to do for no pay

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.

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.

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. 😅

If we gonna do videos we might as well get advisor pay too. We didn’t get into wrenching to talk to customers or have customer interaction

There is a lot of waste of time at dealerships and auto shops waiting on other people to do their jobs

Maybe if they actually paid techs commission on gross profit then it would be a different conversation. Only get paid for the flat rate hours and those keep getting adjusted down with more and more requirements

Sounds like the tech is now doing even more for free than ever…. Getting p&a’s writing estimates, writing customer stories, looking up labor times… all used to be the writers job… now add those plus videos to a techs job for free? Cant find good techs? Hmmm idk why🙄

At this rate, just replace the advisor with a kiosk and distribute the savings of not have an advisor to the techs pay. Or, if the business is so confident in video inspections, pay the technician for the time spent doing video inspections.

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

Video inspections is a huge crutch for mediocre advisors.
