 Mentoring Future Technicians ~ Audio Podcast Episode 72 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 15:27

Today we look at an interesting topic. It is something that really hit me about a week ago, while talking to a student at N.T.I. We as mentors and leader in a shop have a far bigger roll in "bringing up" the next generation of good technicians than we think, or maybe want. Overall I don't think we do as good of a job for our new mechanics as we should. Understanding that this generation coming into the shop is DIFFERENT THAN YOU! And guys that is okay. They don't have to be you to be good. They see things differently. That can be a huge advantage if we capitalize on it.

 Who Pays if a Shop WRECKS Your Car? ~ Audio Podcast | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:54

If a shop or a mechanic gets in an accident with your car, who should pay for the damages? If the shop working on your car totals it, do you have to pay for it? This comes after a story about a shop wrecking an Audi S4, and telling the owner he has to pay for the damage after the shop wrecked his car. This to me is CRAZY! I am not even upset by the accident. That stuff happens all the time. Thankfully no one was hurt. But the shop saying the owner of the car should pay the damages is...

 The Best Car Modification You Can Make | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 9:50

What is the best modification you can make to your car? Finding the best car mod is actually very easy. Its not an ECM tune. It's not a performance exhaust, lowering springs, brake upgrades or window tint. The best performance modification for a vehicle is the DRIVER MOD! Learning to be a better driver is far and away the best thing you can do for your car. This holds true even if you are not a car enthusiast. The better driver you become, the safer you will ultimately be. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.
