We know how valuable good technicians are to our business. We keep the drama out of the shop and focus on creating a productive environment where everybody treats each other with respect. A happy shop is a productive shop, right?

My questions for you are: are you ready for a change? Are you tired of not being appreciated? Want to work in a clean and organized shop where you can focus on fixing cars without the daily drama? Not planning to bring us your own drama?

We are a high production shop that is a perfect fit for anybody looking to earn a good living and not have to work on the weekends.

If you are looking for a change in employment I’d like the opportunity to present our company as an option. If you aren’t looking but you know another tech who is looking, I’ll give you a $500 cash “Thank you” for the referral if we hire your guy (or gal).

Thank you for your time. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you.

Sincerely,

Bill Orsborn

Your main job is to thoroughly look vehicles over (you should find all current problems as well as potential problems that the customer will need to deal with before long) to determine what is necessary to keep them in proper operating condition, as well as diagnose customers concerns regarding their vehicles. Studies have shown that the average car on the road has 8 hours of underperformed maintenance or repairs needed. The customer’s greatest benefit to bringing their cars to us for maintenance is the opportunity to have an ASE Certified Technician regularly inspecting their vehicle. A vehicle should always leave us safer and more reliable than when it arrived.
