I’ve seen a ton of passenger cars with really high mileage that have only had tires, oil changes and brakes done. So it is possible for the average consumer to get by without it.
But, I think the fleet maintenance is the strongest evidence for PM.When PM is ignored in some fleet vehicles and not others the difference is apperent. -
I do see that most shops in MIchigan have a problem with turnover and those that do always seem to have a problem replacing them.
In the shops with the lowest turnovers it is interesting that their techs seem to be very highly trained. Usually an AS from a college and they also are consistantly doing training on their own or with the shop’s help.When I was a fixed ops manager, and needed techs I would constantly ask myself where do the best techs hang out and go there with business cards in hand. It worked out well. Training seminars, college career days, and now online forms that allow you to contact the participants would be my first suggestions. -
I’m still surprised to see so many people using paper tracking methods now, even when they have electronic systems, many still hold onto it.
I ditched using it in the 90’s because at the time, I saw it as a duplication of effort. Then the techs still wrote their own flag tickets for their records, but EVERYTHING was in our computer system and EVERYONE was on the same page. -

Tom,
The whole Google search thing is a science in itself.
You have probiblaly seen this
It’s a great read.
The problem is Google doesn’t entirely disclose how it chooses what it displays. Even worse, by the time the SEO companies reverse engineer the process, Google changes the algorithm again.
