Neat video. I can’t say I have ever been a fan of circle jerking self promotion. But thats my own hurdle to overcome.
What I think while watching this is how amazing these techs are supposed to be. Masters, blah blah, blah. But they don’t deserve to get paid anything above $60k a year. (thats $32.50 an hour).
I am ASE Master L1 (which means I am good at taking tests) and I work at a interesting shop. We get Porsche race cars, everyday German and swedish cars, and the local areas older exotics. Ferraris, Lotus’s, Deloreans, etc.
Nobody at this shop makes over $55k. No job I could find in the field anywhere near me will pay more then $25/hr. And I have no interest in flat rate.
But I have digressed.
Thanks for posting!

Did an inspection on a guys car. his front pads were a 7, rears were probably a 5. The car was fine. A brake flush was suggested along with some other maintenance. He declined and brought the car elsewhere for a second opinion.
Forward a few days…
Boss pulls us together to ream us out. Apparently we had let a customer pass inspection. Then when he brought it to the next shop they told him he needed a bunch of work. They put some brake fluid on the caliper and convinced him he needed both front calipers pads and rotors. The customer had called to complain to my boss that we had passed his inspection even though his car was “dangerous” to drive and he would only be going to this new shop from now on.
I couldn’t even handle it. The three techs in the shop all figured it out. Our boss didn’t care, he figured we fucked up.
