    I haven’t tested up until now, but I’m thinking of implementing it. I’m thinking of testing prior to hiring and whenever there’s some sort of incident. We’re responsible for people’s safety.

    Up 10% for December. Up 9% for the year.

  • I would not recommend the automotive industry in the shape that it’s in. This industry is broken and has yet to value the technicians’ time. Long hours and difficult working conditions for little pay. Not to mention explaining to their spouses why they have a never-ending $200.00 per month tool bill.

    I’m curious, would it be too bold of a move for Mike or anyone else looking to acquire a business to simply stop into a shop and inquire if they are looking to sell based on the old adage “everything is for sale.” That could initially lead to an inflated value in the current owners head if they aren’t really motivated to sell, but it plants a seed and one day that owner may say “maybe I should sell. Where’s that guy’s card?” and the ball starts rolling from there and all of a sudden they’re motivated.

    What about contacting/acquiring a business with poor reviews? Theoretically, it’s an indication that the owner’s not “into it anymore” so to speak. Financial suicide or opportunity?
