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 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.

NEW MERCH https://tech-shop.fourthwall.com/

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.
