Hello, my name is Andrew Rauch I work at an independent
repair shop in Algonquin, IL as an ASE master certified
technician and I'm constantly looking for ways to self
improve and boost my efficiency.
As a shop we recently made the change from hourly to flat
rate as well as big software and management system change.
With being paid hourly my entire career thus far I'm finding
it a little difficult to find ways to boost my productivity
and up my weekly booked hours. I'm averaging 30-40 hours
weekly currently and I'm looking to try to up that to a 50
booked hours a week at minimum. I do a lot of diagnostic
work. I have a fairly well organized work station and tool
box that helps me move from job to job. I Would just like to
use this forum thread to bounce some ideas off of other
techs who have been in the trenches a little longer than I
have. What are some ways you keep organized? In what way is
your scheduling set up? Are jobs "up for grabs" or assigned
to you? Do you have project cars that you work on when
things are slow? When things are busy and you feel bogged
down what do you do to refresh or keep "focus" on jobs with
higher priority? What are your go to diagnostic tools?
Oscilloscope? Digital-Multimeter?Aftermarket/factory scan
tools? What type of training and after-hours organizations
do you participate in? Would love to hear any ideas or
techniques from like minded individuals who are striving to
better themselves and keep an edge on the competition.
