    Really the only issues I can see is the inexperience. I mean, I was once there, young and learning. And had a great employer that gave me the chance and it really paid off for him and me.   And also no motivation. I see them in the back jacking around and goofing off and have to go out there every 30 mins to check on them. And get them “in gear”. I mean these guys hired me on to turn this place around and I see why now it was the way it was… My problem is I know I could let go of two of the three guys I have and replace them within two weeks with Certified Techs and turn the shop around. So I guess I am just looking for some advise from somone who has been in management longer than I…

    The techs I have are young recent grads. They are not ignorant. I suppose alot of it comes from where I was before this. I had some amazing technician working for me before here and maybe I am just setting the bar too high for these guys. I really don’t know. I am at a loss and thats why I am on here asking for advise! lol….i feel the need for a new tech. I still have one lift left, only we use that for oil changes and tsi’s. Looks like I am in a pickle!! Thanks for your reply!
