Episode 352: Dear Mr. Fantasy

from Grease The Wheels Podcast · host Grease The Wheels

Send us Fan MailOn this weeks episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy goes into some of the deepest professional fantasies of ownership, management, and everything in between. Ownership wants a business that essentially runs itself, but to do that they have to empower their management to make the right decisions and give the dealership a level of autonomy. This is something that many owners have a hard time with. Management wants their job to be as easy as possible, hiring people who do a great job every single time and can make the shop the maximum amount of money. Techs want a great wage and plenty of work. Some of these things cannot exist in the same space, which is why it is so rare to have a shop that runs properly in the first place. Many owners treat their investments like they can run themselves, but force all management to run every single decision past them. Often times management is slow to make any decisions, and then will make the wrong ones. And this translates down to the techs as well, whop often provide significantly more friction than managementcan handle. It’s the old two translations of the word ‘utopia’: good place, and no place!  Also Uncle Jimmy holds his fire on service advisors. This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!
