Your A-tech just put in their two weeks.
Now you're staring at the bay wondering if you're about to spend the next six months turning wrenches yourself.
Here's what nobody tells you in this moment:
Posting a job ad after your tech quits is like shopping for a car after yours just died.
You need wheels NOW—so you're taking whatever's on the lot instead of waiting for the right deal.
You know exactly what this looks like.
You've watched customers who've made that mistake walk into your shop desperate to have you help clean up the mess because they skipped the inspection, ignored the warning signs, overpaid—all because they needed something that day.
That's you right now.
On the other side of the counter.
The shops that don't panic when someone quits?
They weren't "lucky with hiring."
They had a bench.
A relationship with a handful of quality techs who weren't actively looking—but would move for the right opportunity.
That's not recruiting.
That's leverage.
So let me ask you:
What would change if the next time someone gave notice, your response was "I've got three calls to make" instead of "I'm screwed"?
Drop a 🔥 if you've ever been blindsided by a resignation that threw your whole shop into chaos.
And if you need help building that bench...
Let me know.
