The Real Reason New Techs Don't Last

New techs keep quitting because they’re being lied to and set up to fail. No mentors, no support, no plan, just empty promises. This episode breaks down why shops can’t keep the new generation of mechanics longer than a year.

They Don't Own You, They Just Think They Do
17 Nov 2025
00:13:37
They don’t pay you enough to control you. They don’t own you. They just think they do. In this episode, we’re talking about side jobs, shop control, and the unspoken truth every tech knows: the dealer doesn’t get a say in what you do after you clock out. They want your time, your loyalty, your weekends, your silence… without paying you anything close to what that’s worth. So here it is. The reality behind why techs take side work. Why shops hate it but can’t stop it. Why the rules only exist when they benefit management. And why techs are done letting anyone dictate their lives outside the bay. This one is raw, direct, and aimed straight at every tech who’s tired of being treated like property instead of a skilled professional.

Another wave of techs is walking out and it’s not slowing down. Shops keep scrambling to hire, but nobody’s asking why people are leaving in the first place. In this episode, we break down what’s driving techs out right now: unstable pay plans, broken promises, toxic management, and the burnout that comes with being treated like we’re disposable.
It’s not just “a few bad shops.” This is a pattern across the industry, and it’s hitting harder every month. If you’re still in the trade, you’ll relate. If you’re thinking about leaving, you’re not alone. And if you’re a manager who doesn’t get it yet—this is the reality your techs are living in.

Career Growth: The Shop Will Pick Your Path if You Don’t
Career growth in the automotive industry isn’t as simple as climbing a ladder. Some techs want hours, some want titles, and some just want out. In this episode, I break down the real paths techs face—from grinding it out as a master tech, to getting trapped in leadership roles, to burning out and leaving the trade. No sugarcoating, no industry fluff—just hard truths, rants, and stories from 25 years in the bays.
Because if you don’t define your own path, the shop will define it for you… and you might not like where it ends.

This episode I talk about a email that I received from an apprentice tech. He has done everything the boss wanted and was told he would be sent to school but instead they hired someone else and sent them to school! WTF!!!
I talk about some of the reasons why this happens. The real reasons why this happens. Not only because of shitty management but Techs that are in a way not good enough to progress in the industry. The tech that emailed me is not one of the bad ones he is actually a good tech that may just be at a shitty shop. Sometimes you just got to move on to a better shop With better management. Just listen to the episode.

That Shop Closed Down! 10/17/22
31 May 2025
00:14:05
Today I tell a story about a situation I went through back in the day. An email I received brought this story up so I figured I would share it. Basically to let you know to do your research before going to any independent or performance shop, or any shop. I almost left a decent shop to go work at a performance shop. The owner tried to get me there and made it all sound too good to be true. And in the end it was. And I end up ranting my opinion on the reason why there is a technician shortage.

Loyalty Isn’t Free — They’ll Still Lie to Get You Here
First we talk about the true cost of loyalty — how giving a shop everything still leaves you with nothing when they’re done using you. Then we dive straight into the interview lies: the fake promises, the sales pitch, and the managers who convince techs to uproot their lives and move across the country… just to drop them in chaos and walk away when it goes bad. I wrap it up by reading real-world emails from techs who’ve lived it, proving this game is rigged — and we’re not imagining any of it.

So You Want To Be A Shop Foreman? 5/21/22
31 May 2025
00:24:34
Today I talk about what you don't know about being a Shop Foreman. Some of it a brief portion. How the circle of hope happens in a shop with no change When a tech thinks a team leader isn't doing what he thinks he should be doing, and how a team leader thinks a shop foreman isn't doing what he should be doing. And I answer Why nothing has changed. I tell you why some get away with everything the real reason.

On the last episode of the Flat Rate Tech Podcast I talked about how much money you could make if you opened your own shop. They guys at ASOG podcast listened to me ramble my BS about it and contacted me. I joined them on the ASOG podcast to talk about what it takes to start and own your own automotive shop. And you might be surprised about what they say! If you have ever thought about quitting the $hithole you work at now and thought "I will start my own shop and make more money" listen to this podcast first and take the advice from a couple of smart guys David and Lucus not me, then decide if it is worth it.

The Death of Mentorship and the Short Life of Good Shops
Mechanic mentorship is disappearing fast in the automotive industry, leaving new techs to figure it out alone. In this episode I talk about why veteran technicians aren’t teaching like they used to, how to spot a bad auto repair shop before you get hired, and the signs you’ve found a good one. I also explain why even the best shops rarely stay that way, and what you can do to protect your career when the culture starts to change. Whether you’re an apprentice, a flat rate veteran, or looking for the best auto shop to work for, this is the reality every mechanic needs to hear.
