a corresponding increase in the investment in the skill
set of the people and equipment that ensure the continued
usage, safety, and efficiency of the product.
The biggest roadblock to successfully fueling the tech
profession remains: pay and compensation.
TECHNICIANS ARE THE BACKBONE
OF THE SERVICE BUSINESS
From an economic perspective, empty bays cost service
centers millions of dollars in lost revenue annually.
From a safety perspective, the need in our society for
these technologists to be skilled and qualified for the
job is paramount. If the calibration on these sophisticated
ADAS systems is not accurate and the resulting
driver's information is wrong, lives can be at stake. If the
correct equipment is not used or safety protocols are
not followed when working on electric vehicles, there
can easily be major consequences. So much in our lives
depends on our ability to be mobile. And it is skilled
technicians who keep America rolling. If your car started
today, thank a tech. Let's give these professionals
the respect, compensation and accolades they deserve.
