☎️ing all my Technician Friends ☎️ This has been one of my favorite weeks in recent months. I have dedicated this week to shop flow and efficiency. This has been a humble reminder of what you all go through. My back hurts, got soaked with coolant and power steering fluid. The shops I spent time in doubled their average car count and improved recommendations by 3 or higher per inspection. Here is my dilema and could use your insight on how I can better messsge the whys and how important it is to check basics before causing more work or chasing parts…Instead of taking time to better diagnose? This vehicle we replaced a reman engine and at idle suffered no oil pressure until we accelerated. My technician was quick to insist that the oil pump was bad. I tried to ask open ended questions and provoke different thinking. He was getting frustrated with me and my intent wasn’t to argue, but avoid 15 hours additional labor to replace a part that wouldn’t solve the problem. I had to insist that he remove oil pan and check o ring on pick up tube and verify no blockage. Before I ordered oil pump. We replaced o ring and and reassembled….. Great oil pressure now! How can I help better message this area?What are ways that you worked with your leaders and or advisors that helped you in your early journeys for those master techs? What advice could you give me or younger technicians entering this field? I am no way a master technician 👩🔧. I try to stay in the know to keep us out of trouble and help everyone be more productive and successful. And Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Your work is the most important in our industry…. It’s tough on your bodies and many times the most thankless. I see you and I appreciate YOU 😊

Are you or someone you know interested in pursuing a career as an automotive maintenance technician? Our new blog post explores the fundamental skills cultivated during auto mechanic school. These skills go beyond wrenches and diagnostics; they encompass interpersonal skills, adaptability, problem-solving, teamwork, and time management, all crucial in the automotive industry and applicable in diverse professional settings.

What are we doing to elevate technicians ? If you have a job that hasn't gone to plan and a tech that is frustrated, take a look at the 3 U's "Unaware" are they unaware of company s.o.p's and OEM procedures? "Unable" is the job above the technicians skill level or is the shop lacking the proper equipment to do the repair? "Unwilling" are you dealing with a technician that isn't willing to do the job for "insert reason here" and maybe needs training, coaching and reinforcement to build that person to a place where they accept the situation and complete the job to the best of their ability.

My life motto: Rolling up your sleeves and working with my team led to respect, respect led to happy employees, happy employees led to higher productivity. At Molson Coors, as a lead Instrument Controls Electrician, the crew achieved 30% more when my mechanic lead and I were on duty compared to the other lead team. Lesson learned from how I respect my leaders who worked with me in the dirty nasty jobs and those who I only respected the title of because they only would tell me to go do it. #Teamwork #Productivity #EmployeeEngagement

Importance of Safety and Standards As technicians and engineers, our commitment to safety and quality standards should never waver. Recently, I encountered a situation where the seatbelt in my assigned seat was damaged. Despite assurances from the bus assistant, I insisted on changing seats to ensure my safety. This experience served as a stark reminder of the risks associated with deviating from established standards. Too often, we opt for shortcuts or compromise on safety measures in the name of convenience or familiarity. However, the consequences of such actions can be dire, both in terms of safety and financial costs. As stewards of safety, it's imperative that we prioritize adherence to standards and refuse to compromise on safety. Our health and well-being, as well as the integrity of the machinery we work with, depend on it. Let's commit to upholding the highest standards in everything we do and ensure that safety remains our top priority. Remember, your health is your greatest asset.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝘃𝗳𝗶𝗸 𝗚𝘂𝘀, one of the mechanics who assemble the machines 💪 Tevfik Gus worked already as a technician before he started at Timesavers. Back then, he had the shift of fault technician one week per month. During such a week, there were no fixed working hours. And so he was sometimes called in the middle of the night to solve a breakdown. That made him start at Timesavers more than 10 years ago. He enjoys the work as mechanic in final assembly. And of course, there is just one shift. Exactly what he was looking for. Tevfik likes to build the machines. Gus: "I like every task within this job. You get to work independently, which is nice.” When a machine is almost finished, there is always some adjustment work to do. This is also where Tevfik comes in. Because all the rotary brush machines that are produced in Goes, need to be checked. In his spare time, Tevfik loves to cycle. And though he used to like running, he now switched to taking walks. If you have ever been in Zeeland before, you know that that’s no punishment… considering how beautiful the landscapes are. What advice Tevfik would give to others? "Keep looking for ways to improve. Keep asking questions. Not only for your own benefit, but also to get better as a team.” https://hubs.li/Q01WnmWl0
