Are you running an auto repair shop and feeling like you’re one step ahead of burnout, struggling to keep up with the relentless demands of the business? You're not alone. It's a familiar tale in the auto repair shop world. You may have that nagging suspicion that your team senses the void too. What if I told you there's a way to go from burnout to balance, not just for yourself but for your entire team? Introducing the Life Calibration System, a lifeline for shop owners and employees. It's about restoring balance, clarity, and fulfillment in your life and workplace. Personal growth is key; it's about cultivating a culture of growth, both personally and professionally, and showing that you care. The Life Calibration System is a life skills training program designed specifically for repair shops. It's a compass that points toward self-discovery and personal growth, acknowledging that life and work are interconnected. Eddie Lawrence, the president of MTR Mobile Transport Repair, serves as a beacon of inspiration. Eddie's personal journey from burnout to balance highlights a common pitfall among shop owners—putting themselves last. Deep thinking is crucial, addressing personal goals, dreams, and aspirations. When you give your team the space to think deeply, it boosts morale and accountability, creating a ripple effect. Leadership involves setting an example and removing obstacles. The Life Calibration program begins with a self-diagnostic test, assessing the health of different facets of your life. Setting baselines, pinpointing focus areas, and setting achievable goals brings clarity and helps steer you toward balance. Embracing change and inspiring your team is essential. Ready to learn more?

Technician Find was proud to sponsor the recent Remarkable Results Radio Podcast with Carm Capriotto featuring Brakes for Breasts founders Leigh Anne Best and Laura Frank along with clinic trial program head Dr. Justin Johnson. If your auto repair shop hasn’t gotten involved, 2023 is the year to join the fight to keep women safe and healthy. The Brakes for Breasts Program is now enrolling auto repair shops for the 2023 fundraising drive. During the month of October, your shop will commit to donating brake pads to customers. Your customers will only be responsible for labor and additional parts. You’ll commit to donating 10% of your brake service sales to Brakes for Breasts, which will then donate 100% to breast cancer vaccine research, currently in phase 1b. As an independent repair shop, your involvement in the Brakes for Breasts initiative allows you to market your involvement and advertise your participation in this life saving breast cancer research. You’ll be able to post on your website, social channels, through email marketing efforts and more. It’s a terrific way to support a valuable cause, offer your current customers terrific savings, and attract new customers to your auto repair shop. Consider it a win-win-win.
