@celestemhall: Guys, we are doing this to ourselves at this point. I’ve heard instructors and reps tell techs so many times to STOP TALKING ABOUT WARRANTY TIMES ONLINE. Car manufacturers watch what you’re posting and they WILL cut your time on jobs if you keep bragging about how fast you can do it. (They monitor those facebook groups too). If you can beat warranty time, GREAT- make your bread, but stop boasting about it online or posting your shortcuts because it’s why engine jobs that used to pay 14 hours now only pay 7. I hope this finds the right people and I hope this educates those who don’t know about this already. Have a great day. Sincerely, A Fed Up Tech😂 #automotive #mechanic #hyundai #cars #bluecollar
This is the only industry that the better you get at a job, they pay you less.

Do people in any other industry get punished for being good at their jobs or is it just us?

Something that pisses me off, idk if all manufacturers are the same. But Chrysler will cut times for “power tool use” I paid good fucking money for my power tools to make my life easier and I’m punished for it

it doesn’t matter either way. times are still gonna get cut so might as well say it. majority of manufacturers already know the short cuts before they’re even spoken about cuz the do the repair 100’s of times over to even come up with a time. hondas eps recall started out as 1.6 bc you had to drop the subframe to do it and within a month or 2 dealers were being shipped special tools to perform the recall without dropping the rack and cut the time to .5

we need to unionize. flat rate is dogwater and its the reason we havent been given the same pay rates and insurances that other trades have.

Not how it works. For hyundai you can actually submit request to bring up the book time. They review it. They get the same car in for the job. They do the job 3 times and they will bring it up if it takes more time than the book

People been making this mistake forever. Older gen will tell you ford used to pay $50 for short cuts to cut labor times. People would take the easy 50 bucks and lose ten times more over time. Then people started giving it away to manufacturers for free on forums then on social media. Ford specifically had a tech forum they moderated and people would post short cuts there…

Refusing to do the work is the only way things will change. Cummins gear housing covers for example.
