Flat rate is killing the drive for mechanics to be in the industry on top of how hard vehicles are to work on with how many companies are trying to oay techs the minimum while requiring them to go through expensive training and buy expensive proprietary tools to work on vehicles

If there’s no cars to work on and they just sit there waiting on cars shops can’t pay the hourly rate because they have 4 guys before the car reaches the tech but all of they are paid hourly and don’t get me started on supplements it’s the advisors job to write the whole estimate not the tech we don’t get paid unless we are working on the car

That's why flat rate is ruining the industry. Warranty times are legal theft!
