    Its very tempting I actually had account with them a few years back. It was good for boosting our presence but……. When you see post that don’t really match your business or vehicles or demographic that kinda gets old.

    Congrats on the growing shop! Its quite the adventure I would have 2 things uniforms have to be required. Give a list of appropriate things for a uniform we supply mechanic shirts and pants shorts if they ask. As myself pretty much live in shorts during the summer months. I also provide company T shirts or a Polo if need be to lighten up when it gets hot. If they cant abide by that especially if you are providing. Write up and still cant follow See ya later! 

    Cell phones that is a battle today, especially my age group. We tend to live and breathe through the thing. All I can say is this if you restrict it your going to have issues. The only people who can be put on blast for abusing cell phones is anyone paid completely hourly. They’re really on your time and they don’t want to abide then follow legal rules per your state and send them packing. If they are Flat rate or some sort of pay per performance. Let them use them if they start losing hours cause of it. Well it becomes their own fault and they will learn why they lost half a paycheck potential.
