Buying a farrier rig is the most expensive single purchase you will make in your hoof-care career. Even the combined costs of your required tools and necessary inventory don’t come close to the cost of a reliable, well-planned rig.
Workshop owners: here are the 2 most important things to consider when hiring for your auto repair shop 🚘👇
Too many workshop owners aren’t thinking long term when they post a job ad. Usually they’ll rush through the process because they desperately need a new technician asap.
But what happens when you rush the process and realise 2 years down the track that the person you’ve hired has absolutely no leadership skills whatsoever and can’t assist you with training the new staff?
Or maybe the person you’ve hired as an apprentice has no loyalty, and after you’ve spent years investing in their training, they decide to move to another shop once they’ve become qualified, leaving you to start the whole process over again with a new apprentice??
Here’s what you need to be considering, when you’re going through the hiring process:
1️⃣ Don’t just consider the technical capabilities of the person you’re hiring; consider their personal qualities - such as values and life experience.
Ask yourself, do they need to have honesty, integrity or leadership skills?
2️⃣ How can you add value to them and their career? This person will be so much more loyal, productive and satisfied at work if they know their long term career is being thought of and worked towards.
Have you ever had any bad experiences with rushing into a hire before? Let us know below what happened and what you learnt from it 👇
Happy faces give happiest feeling…….
Recently I have got chance to take two days offline session for Havells and Lloyd service engineers!
Great learning for both side, by activities, role plays and storytelling also…..
We have discussed here…..
Appearance: clothing and grooming is the most important as service engineer because they are the representatives of the organization in front of customers and along with that they also feel good and better from deep within this.
Behavior/good manners: Greet when meet as per the time, always greet with smile. If customer is irritated or angry so listen him or her patiencely without interrupting, it will give time to understand his or her situation.
Communication: Always be aware about your body language, vocal and verbal communication because customer delighted is the ultimate goal of a organization.
Time management: Always be punctual because with no time management people always stay in rush, stress and due to this they are not able to focus their job and it reflects their behavior and communication also.
Great learning, happiness and satisfaction also is there!
High technician turnover is a significant challenge in the automotive industry, driven in large part by financial stress and debt.
Technicians often face substantial financial burdens, from educational loans and living expenses to the high cost of tools, which can lead to stress and job dissatisfaction.
At Sonic, we recognize the crucial link between financial stability and job satisfaction. That's why we're proud to collaborate with several organizations to offer solutions that help technicians "earn and not owe."
By providing high-quality tools set up in foam shadowing with laser etching, we aim to alleviate financial burdens and improve job satisfaction for automotive technicians.

The ACIA recently made waves at careers expos in Queensland and WA, sparking curiosity and inspiring the next generation of collision repair professionals. 🙌
ACIA member Wes Jenkins from Wilmott Smash Repair Specialists shared his insights:
💬 "Collision repair is so far off everyone’s radar. Many people don’t even know what it is! We need to keep getting the message out into the community."
The event wasn’t just about education; it was about changing perceptions. Young talent like potential refinish technician Jaz Martin, 21, felt the spark:
💡 "When I saw the ACIA stand, it was a lightbulb moment. I like art, and spray painting is really satisfying. It’s a good job, a good career."
With interest growing and apprentices signing up, we’re thrilled to see the momentum building for this tech-heavy, creative, and rewarding industry.
Let’s continue to reshape the narrative around collision repair and drive the future of this incredible trade!

ICBA’s Kerry Vital, Social Media Intern Danica, and Jordan Bateman (that's me!) visited ICBA member Bigfoot Crane Company Inc. last week and it may have been my favourite member visit Yeti. (Sorry for the dad joke…)
Here are my 5 takeaways:
🦺 Bigfoot puts safety first. It’s their top priority and you see it all over their HQ. Training areas, simulators, VR – it’s all about educating workers to be safe. Crane, hoist and other heavy equipment training, basic construction site safety training, rigging training: they do it all – and they do it very well.
📝 Bigfoot trains up to 300 people every week, including BC Hydro workers. They have a dedicated classroom space, and the day before our visit, they had 10 young people there learning about being an Heavy Equipment Operator.
🏗️ With 46 staff, Bigfoot is growing in leaps and bounds. They sell cranes and accessories. They rent them. They service them. They set cranes up, they take them down. And they train thousands of people a year.
🚧 Their HEO simulator is amazing. I got to “work” an excavator and a tower crane. Patience (and hand-eye coordination) make a good operator. I’ll be sticking to my day job, but it was a lot of fun.
👣 Bigfoot is focusing on 5 key areas: leadership, culture, service, innovation and brand. Those aren’t just buzzwords – I can attest that every part of the operation I saw oozed these things. It was great to see.
👷 And a bonus point: Bigfoot changes lives. Their team told us about training crane operators who had to leave manual labour or other jobs for various reasons, and their lives could have gone in a number of negative directions. Instead, they learned to operate cranes, got their Red Seal, and make great money working hard in the industry they love.
One last dad joke: Bigfoot saw me today. I bet no one believes them. 🤦
Keep up the amazing work Ralf and the whole Bigfoot team! Thanks for having us visit – we feel very fortunate to have you as part of ICBA and our local construction industry!
