In the automotive world, it’s easy to feel like your value depends on how many hours you flag.
But that mindset burns out good techs fast.
That same negative thinking plagued me in my work for years. Until I learned how to separate the two.
Your worth isn’t measured in billed hours — it’s shown in your craftsmanship, consistency, and contribution.
When you diagnose accurately, help another tech, or deliver quality work — that is success.
The labor guide might define pay time, but you define your professional value.
Take time to recharge, grow, and live beyond the bay.
You’re more than the hours on a repair order.
