Running The Shop

We provide major equipment and some specialty tools, but for the most part, the technicians are responsible for providing their own tools. Having said that, Offering a spiff or a bonus of a credit on the tool truck can be a great incentive to increase performance or productivity. Especially for a tech in his first few years trying to build up their tool collection.

Episode 163 - Balancing Business Ownership & Technology With Gregg Rainville & James Harris of Steer

Wow, 55 Year in Business, That's an accomplishment! ...with that amount of years, your business is a land mark for the city/town where you live. Your business is 55 years old, I am 52 years old and my business is 10 years old. We have had our ups and downs but I started this business from scratch.. I don't considered myself a mechanic since I did not go to school for that. I am an Entrepreneur/accountant that got retrained 10 years back to do Brakes & Suspension work. ...and Yes, I come from a family of Mechanics, I just did not enjoyed it when I was young, now I loved it It's harder for a younger business to even consider the thought of competing  with a 55 year old. HOW? The business itself has it's path and journey, at that age of a business, somebody will come through the front door, it could be minor activity or a lot of it. Now reaching goals and owner's expectation is something totally different! Congratulation I just hope one day our business can reach to that age, and that would be up to my kids...

Hi! I got a bunch of engine and cabin filters - leftovers from my store. What's the best way to get rid off the inventory? eBay sales are slow and not an option due to the time it takes to list a filter and due to expensive cost of shipping. Many thanks in advance, Mike
