just to fill the position. a body there is better than an empty stall in the dealers eyes.5.0's 4 ever said:Every shop gets hacks now and then. I have been at the same dealership for getting close to 5 years now and you know a hack when you see one. It blows me away what these people don't even know, from simple electronics to even using a scan tool. They don't last long and then its on to the next dealership for them. I don't even know why my dealership would even higher them in the first place

Sad thing is in my shop as long as they upsell and make lots of hours they will stay employed no matter how many comebacks they have.
Yup. I have seen it at every place. Been at Toyota for 14 months and see it often. Seen it at Ford and when I worked for smaller repair shops.svttech76 said:Well they come in and claim they know how to do everything. The mangement gets fooled by them and it takes awile to weed them out.

03ghoststang said:yup had that in one of the shops i worked at. But it all changed after this guy supposedly did a tranny job that payed like 16-19Hrs. waranty, i got the car for a leak and the previous tech had messed up the tranny housing where the output shaft goes and it was just gushing tranny fluid from the seal. Took it apart and he only replaced half of the stuff he got fired on the spot. cause they called all teh customers that he had done a tranny on and guess what same thing...

blackfang said:Yup. I just present to my customers what my techs find. It's there choice to buy, but working previous as a tech, I can make the upsell as I can explain it better. Sometimes you win, some you lose.
If they chose not to get the service, I just note it for later on if there are any issues.
