Welcome to The Wrench Turner’s Podcast - Coaches Corner

These segments are a rough breakdown of coaching sessions I’ve had with mechanics, giving examples of difficulties, what's been advised, and the results that follow.

In this episode we have a 7-year experienced, level 1 brand certified, flat-rate Dodge Technician, here nicknamed Roberto. Roberto was feeling stressed about the environment he was in.

The Wrench Turners Podcast - Coaches Corner - The Counter09 Apr 202300:16:25

Welcome to The Wrench Turner’s Podcast - Coaches Corner


These segments are a rough breakdown of coaching sessions I’ve had with mechanics, giving examples of some of their difficult situations, and what I’ve advised them to do, to overcome those challenges and meet their goals.


Today, we’re reviewing a 17-year experienced, level 3 brand certified, flat-rate Nissan Technician, here nicknamed "Francesco". Francesco was feeling stressed that he was plateauing in his production and was convinced that warranty labour hours were the cause. Have a listen to this episode to see how he's started to overcome this hurdle, and how you may use his win as your own.
