In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #368, Chris, Hogi, and Adam dig into one of the biggest and most expensive misconceptions plaguing dealership fixed operations today: the constant cry for "more traffic" and "advisor training." The team uncovers the real patterns behind hundreds of service departments and reveals a harsh disconnect—dealerships aren't running out of work; they are failing their technicians and losing their best producers. Chris and the crew break down why shoving more traffic into a shop running at 60% to 70% efficiency is an absolute recipe for disaster that tanks your customer satisfaction score. We unpack why service advisors secretly refuse to sell work when the shop is backed up, why the industry completely abandoned basic maintenance sales, and how to use the "Theory of Constraints" to treat your shop like a high-output factory. Plus: Adam talks about his $7,500 journey to becoming a certified master distiller, Chris debates the risks of blind-inducing backyard moonshine, and the guys try to figure out which "I" state they are traveling to next.

The HVAC industry is at a critical turning point. Many of the technicians who built the trade over the last few decades are starting to retire, while demand for heating and cooling keeps climbing. At the same time, the products and tools technicians rely on—from coil cleaners to maintenance chemicals—are evolving to be safer and more environmentally responsible. Put it all together, and the industry is figuring out what the next generation of HVAC work will look like.So what does the future of HVAC actually look like—from the products technicians rely on in the field to the new generation stepping into the trade? And just as importantly, how can the industry better support and prepare them for what's ahead?Welcome to Straight Outta Crumpton. In the latest episode, host Greg Crumpton sits down with Ashley Lynds, Director of Education and Brand Development at Refrigeration Technologies, the company behind the well-known Viper line of HVAC maintenance products.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy does a deep dive on the WrenchWay 2026 Voice of the Technician Survey — and man, does it should like a synopsis of Grease the Wheels! This time though, none of the numbers are made up, although admittedly Uncle Jimmy was a lot closer to the mark than we really want to admit. There are deep, structural issues within the automotive industry, and this is coming from across the board. Incredible stats from pay, to getting new technicians involved in the industry and supporting trade schools, to an absolutely abysmal promotion rate amongst people actually in the industry. Techs are burned out, over worked, under paid, and between management and warranty times, it is not getting better. However, things usually have to get pretty bad before stuff changes, and that is the silver lining. The shops that adapt will thrive, the ones that don't are dead on arrival!

We break down how utility fiber gets built, tested, and repaired across massive distances, plus the skills that separate average troubleshooting from confident, fast problem solving. • what OPGW is and how it replaces the static ground wire on transmission lines • why utilities use OPGW for long-distance fiber to substations and rural sites • how dark fiber and leased circuits can become a revenue stream • safety steps around substations including transient voltage checks and bonding • remote jobsite logistics including structure numbers, access roads, sand, and swamp conditions • why OPGW is an exact-measurement workflow with limited slack and expensive rework • how bucket truck work fits into enclosure placement while splicing stays ground-based • why “one and done” depends on OLTS, OTDR, and IOLM testing before you leave • how BICSI Cable Skills Challenge habits improve sequencing, speed awareness, and tool discipline • how to find fiber cuts by reading true OTDR traces and pairing distance with maps • what it means to “send a 2K tone” and how fiber identifier tools help in outside plant If you're watching this show on YouTube, would you mind hitting the subscribe button and the bell button to be notified when new content is being produced? If you're listening to us on one of the audio podcast platforms, would you mind leaving us a five-star rating? If you find value in this content, we click on that QR code right there.

Senior technicians are often built for the big stuff.Transmissions. Heavy line. Diagnostics. Complex repairs. The jobs that take skill, patience, and experience. But what happens when the shop needs those same technicians to take on more general service?Oil changes. Inspections. Same-day work. Smaller jobs. Gravy work.In Episode 2 of Earned Influence, Jami Alexander brings a real shop leadership question to the panel:How do you get senior specialized technicians to buy into gravy work when they're used to heavier, more complex repair?Mindy Williams, Racheal Bright, and Joshua Taylor talk through the real issue.It's not about forcing techs to do the work.It's about helping them understand why the work matters.It's about customer expectations.It's about shop flow.It's about using apprentices properly.It's about showing experienced technicians that smaller work can still create value for the customer, the technician, and the business.And maybe most importantly, it's about reminding senior technicians that the way they handle the simple work teaches the next generation how to care for customers when they're gone.Earned Influence is a panel series built around real conversations with women in automotive, fixed ops, service, leadership, and the trades.Featuring:Jami Alexanderhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jami-a-4075a9271/Mindy Williamshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mindy-williams-700b791b7/Racheal Brighthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/racheal-bright-08281262/⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Why do talented automotive technicians leave the automotive industry, and what can shop owners do to keep them? Host Carm Capriotto is joined by Technical Specialist Matt Fanslow and Technician Find CEO Chris Lawson to explore what it takes to attract, hire, and retain top talent in today's automotive repair industry. The conversation examines industry professionalism, workplace culture, compensation, employee engagement, and proactive recruiting strategies that help shops become destinations for exceptional technicians. What You'll Learn Why elevating the image of automotive professionals is critical to attracting the next generation of talentThe three primary reasons technicians leave shops: lack of respect, limited growth opportunities, and compensation concernsHow financial transparency can build trust, ownership, and a stronger team cultureThe difference between a shop's "official game" and its "shadow game," and why understanding both mattersPractical ways to gather meaningful employee feedback and turn ideas into actionHow leaders can remove obstacles that prevent technicians from finding joy and fulfillment in their workWhy relationships with tool truck drivers can become a valuable recruiting resourceHow a shop's appearance and reputation can influence whether top candidates choose to work there Finding and keeping great technicians requires more than competitive pay. Shops that create a culture of respect, provide clear growth opportunities, communicate openly, and actively remove workplace frustrations are far more likely to attract and retain top performers. The most successful shop owners don't wait for talent to find them, they intentionally build workplaces where skilled professionals want to stay and grow.

Most shop owners complain about finding technicians but do nothing to fix it. They ask, "Do you have ten fingers?" Get a yes, and hire them tomorrow. No interview, no vetting, no onboarding. Just panic. Lisa Coyle heard this enough times to build a solution. She created Promotive to bring a professional recruiting process to shops too busy fighting fires to build one themselves.In this episode of Maximum Octane, Kim Hickey and Jason Patel sit down with Lisa Coyle, founder of Promotive, and Sam Freeman to discuss why shop hiring is broken and how AI is fixing it. Lisa walks through her background building 360 Payments into a successful business and why she noticed that recruiting was always the hardest part. She explains the philosophy behind Promotive: hire people you'd trust to work on your own family's cars. Sam talks about why most shops lack a real recruiting process and how that costs them talent. They dive into how Promotive uses an AI agent to conduct interviews, screen candidates, and provide detailed summaries and ratings so shop owners can make smarter hiring decisions.The conversation reveals how the AI agent is surprisingly human-like, with candidates opening up to it and even thanking it for the conversation. Jason goes through a live interview demonstration with the AI agent, showing how natural and effective the process is. Lisa and Sam discuss the data insights shops can gather from properly structured interviews, future possibilities for building technician databases, and how they're already handling 300 to 400 dials per week. They emphasize that technicians are essential workers who keep families safe, and the vetting process matters.

In today's episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I'm diving into one of the biggest decisions any PDR shop owner or hail tech will face: Do you train your own technicians… or hire experienced ones? There are pros and cons to both, and after years of training dent techs, running hail operations, and building teams, I want to break down the realities that nobody talks about. We get into: The pros and cons of training your own PDR technicians Why experienced techs cost more — and why they're often worth it The hidden cost of speed, production, and cleanup work Why new techs need years to develop efficiency How to spot people worth investing in Why hiring people with other valuable skill sets matters Training during hail season vs downtime The reality of loyalty in business Why every business owner needs to hope for the best but prepare for the worst I also talk about recent experiences training technicians during hail season, how we structure growth inside the shop, and why investing in the right people can completely change the trajectory of your business. The truth is — building a strong hail team isn't just about finding talent. It's about developing systems, creating opportunities, and understanding where experience actually matters. Whether you're trying to scale your shop, hire your first technician, or debating if training someone is even worth it, this episode is for you. Topics Discussed: Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), hail damage repair, PDR technician training, hiring dent techs, wholesale PDR, hail teams, scaling a dent business, PDR shop management, dent repair staffing, technician development, PDR mentoring, hail season operations, building a PDR business, dent technician pay structures, training vs hiring.

Episode #1365: Trump weighs in on right-to-repair after meeting with auto industry leaders, Ford invests heavily in solving its technician shortage, and how back to school shopping is already happening. Show Notes with links: A surprising right-to-repa...

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Host Carm Capriotto welcomes Chris Lawson, founder of Technician Find, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing independent auto repair shops today: finding and keeping great technicians. Chris explains why many shop owners fall into what he calls "fire alarm syndrome," waiting until a technician leaves before starting the hiring process. That reactive approach often leads to rushed decisions, poor hires, and ongoing turnover. Instead, he advocates for an "Always Be Recruiting" mindset, where shops continuously build relationships with potential candidates long before they have an opening. The conversation explores practical strategies for becoming a destination workplace, creating a recruiting pipeline, and building a culture that attracts top talent in a competitive market. What You'll Learn Why reactive hiring creates costly staffing problemsHow to build a bench of pre-qualified technicians before you need themWhy becoming "10-mile famous" can help attract both technicians and customersHow culture-focused marketing can outperform traditional help-wanted adsThe three things technicians value most: respect, growth, and compensationWhy sign-on bonuses often fail and how to structure them more effectivelyPractical ways to engage passive candidates who are not actively job huntingResources available through Chris Lawson's free online community for shop owners The best time to recruit a technician is before you need one. Shops that continuously market their culture, build relationships with local talent, and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates are better positioned to grow, avoid staffing emergencies, and create a workplace where top technicians want to stay. Recruiting is no longer an occasional task. It is an ongoing business strategy. Chris Lawson, TechnicianFind.Com Love your shop? Stay, but stay ready.

How often are your technicians quoting work before the customer understands why it matters? When techs rely on jargon-heavy explanations or quote work before building value, homeowners can push back or walk away without seeing why the repair matters. In this episode of Cracking the Code, Russ Horrocks shares lessons from the road after working directly with HVAC technicians and comfort advisors in the field. He explains why customer trust starts with clear communication, how technicians can make recommendations easier for homeowners to understand and why building value before quoting work is critical to protecting your reputation and building long-term satisfied customers.The post What HVAC Techs Need to Win More Work first appeared on My Contractor University | Dashboard.

In this episode, HVAC veteran Adam Mufich of National Comfort Institute (NCI) pulls back the curtain on one of the industry's most overlooked problems: the majority of residential HVAC systems in the United States are not delivering the correct amount of airflow. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Adam opens up about his own journey from confident installer to humbled diagnostician, sharing the moment he started measuring his systems and realized how much he had been getting wrong. His candor and expertise make this a must-listen for any HVAC professional serious about doing better work. Adam walks listeners through a sobering picture painted by a Department of Energy study covering 44 research projects across the country. The data reveals that between 50 and 93 percent of systems tested moved less than the minimum 350 CFM per ton of capacity, and between 67 and 100 percent of systems leaked more than 100 CFM to the outside. Equipment oversizing is rampant, with some studies showing that up to 93 percent of systems exceed what Manual J calculations would call for. The ripple effects are enormous: compressor failures, blown blower motors, cracked heat exchangers, wasted energy, and homeowners who are simply not comfortable in their own homes. Adam argues that the single most powerful fix is also the most underused one — properly sizing the equipment in the first place. The bulk of the episode dives into two distinct approaches NCI teaches for addressing these problems. The first is the Air Upgrade, a targeted set of repairs focused near the equipment to reduce static pressure and increase fan airflow. This includes reworking the filter system (a commonly undersized 16x25x1 filter can triple the allowed pressure budget on its own), improving duct fittings with lower equivalent lengths, cleaning evaporator coils and blower wheels, adjusting fan speed, and sealing duct joints. The second approach is full Duct Optimization, a more comprehensive renovation that addresses the entire duct system, incorporates Manual D calculations, installs balancing dampers, improves insulation, and uses tools like flow hoods and MeasureQuick to verify that every room in the house is receiving the correct airflow and BTUs. Adam also spends time on the practical and human side of this work — how to talk to homeowners, how to prioritize what matters to them, and how to overcome the very real obstacles that keep technicians from doing thorough airflow work. He addresses everything from fear of opening walls (his solution: build relationships with drywall contractors and offer turnkey repairs) to the simple but powerful mindset shift of treating airflow as something to be measured, not felt with your hand. His closing message is clear: the tools and methods exist, the training is available, and virtually every house in the country has a problem worth solving. The only thing standing in the way is the willingness to do it right. Topics Covered The current state of the HVAC industry based on a DOE meta-analysis of 44 studies Why equipment oversizing is the number one contributor to airflow problems and how to address it How a 50 percent oversized AC system can increase energy consumption by up to 91 percent (per the ASME Journal of Sustainable Buildings) Tools for proper load calculations, including Ample Energy and Conduit apps Why most systems are not moving enough airflow and what the consequences are (heat exchanger failures, compressor failures, comfort complaints) Duct leakage to the outside and its effects on comfort, indoor air quality, and building pressurization The four pillars of NCI's approach: safe, healthy, comfortable, and efficient systems The Air Upgrade approach: targeted repairs near the equipment to reduce static pressure and increase fan airflow The Duct Optimization approach: full duct system renovation with balanced airflow to every room Static pressure profiling: taking four measurements (before/after filter and before/after coil) to pinpoint restrictions Static pressure budgets and how to use them to identify which part of a system is the biggest problem Fan Law 2 as a planning tool to predict system performance before making changes The TrueFlow Grid and its forecasting feature for planning equipment changes Filter sizing and its massive impact on total external static pressure Duct fitting equivalent lengths and how to reduce resistance near the equipment Sealing duct joints and why it adds static pressure that must be planned for The importance of rechecking and adjusting refrigerant charge after any airflow improvement Air balancing with a flow hood to verify delivered CFM at every register Measuring delivered BTUs using tools like MeasureQuick, JobLink, and NCI's ComfortMax workflow Overcoming obstacles: technician buy-in, access to ducts in walls, attic space limitations, and homeowner hesitation Building relationships with drywall contractors to offer turnkey duct repair solutions Why airflow is invisible and why measuring it is non-negotiable   To learn more about NCI and its training offerings, visit https://www.nationalcomfortinstitute.com/.

Send us Fan MailOn this weeks episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy goes into some of the deepest professional fantasies of ownership, management, and everything in between. Ownership wants a business that essentially runs itself, but to do that they have to empower their management to make the right decisions and give the dealership a level of autonomy. This is something that many owners have a hard time with. Management wants their job to be as easy as possible, hiring people who do a great job every single time and can make the shop the maximum amount of money. Techs want a great wage and plenty of work. Some of these things cannot exist in the same space, which is why it is so rare to have a shop that runs properly in the first place. Many owners treat their investments like they can run themselves, but force all management to run every single decision past them. Often times management is slow to make any decisions, and then will make the wrong ones. And this translates down to the techs as well, whop often provide significantly more friction than managementcan handle. It's the old two translations of the word ‘utopia': good place, and no place!  Also Uncle Jimmy holds his fire on service advisors. This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!
