Denvers Quality Automotive’s Post

I asked two mechanics the same question today: “My check engine light came on for no apparent reason… everything seems to be working fine… could you do a diagnostic check to see what’s causing it?” Mechanic #1 quickly said, “For $135 an hour I can. And it’s not as simple as just plugging in a diagnostic device—it could take one to four hours.” Mechanic #2 said, “Sure. Can you bring it in Friday? It should only take us a few minutes to figure out what’s causing the light to turn on and we can decide how to proceed from there.” …Guess which mechanic I’m choosing? Not just for this time around… but for all my future time arounds? And I bet if I wiped all of Mechanic #1’s car knowledge and he was in the same boat I was in… he’d choose Mechanic #2, too. When you’re in business… you’re there to do business—I get it. But, when you treat customers like numbers and not people who would like to be treated just like you would if you were in the same situation… I suspect it won’t be long until there won’t be too many “numbers” left for you to do business with. ------ ------ I email 1-minute thoughts like this daily here: https://matthogan.blog/hi

𝗣𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗴𝘂𝗻𝘀 Mark's Mechanics a Repco Authorised Service centre in Townsville aren't shy to ask for help when it comes to getting their customers back on the road. They found out about our phone diagnostics service when booking staff on our training course advertised by our colleagues The Automotive Technician. After an introduction to Diesel Help Australia , Clinton Brett 's experienced voice was the reassurance technician Steph needed at a time of a major decision. Steph was on the right track after finding evidence in the Pico scope test which related to our technical bulletin TB1204 – Holden Colorado won’t start, fault code P0336 crank angle sensor. But removing a gearbox is a massive task, and by talking to a sound voice with the supporting evidence, gave Steph the confidence required to proceed and confirm the fault. Clinton provided his signature training approach helping Steph understand how the system worked on this model and with the aid of Snap-on Tools Australia & New Zealand Shopstream, Clinton was able to view freeze frame data, circling the relationship between engine speed dropout, desired and actual rail pressure. To take the load off, Clinton searched the TAT data base and provided the link of the known good scope pattern to save Steph time searching themselves.

I hear automotive garage owners and Managers complain about the shortage of repair technicians on a regular basis. "We can't find good techs" they say. But why? And what can you do about it? I did some research and discovered the answer is simple, you have to look after the techs you've got better, and make your job offers more attractive to new ones. Take a look at the video for details. https://lnkd.in/gEExVRxg #automotiveindustry #automotivetraining #automotivejobs

Your FREE "code pull" to diagnose a check engine light may rob your wallet. Diagnosing a vehicle can be more complex than simply pulling codes from the car’s onboard diagnostic (OBD) system. While code readers provide helpful error codes, these codes often only point to symptoms, not the root cause of the problem. Many issues have overlapping symptoms so a single code could indicate multiple possible failures. Relying solely on a code pull without further investigation can lead to misdiagnosis, unnecessary repairs, or unresolved issues. Proper diagnostics often require additional tests, mechanical inspections, and a skilled technician's expertise to identify the problem's true source.

Avoid Unofficial Repairs, Protect Your Investment Unofficial car repairs can be risky and costly. Here's why it's important to stick with certified mechanics: Expertise and Training: Certified mechanics have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and repair your car correctly. They've undergone rigorous training and certification programs, ensuring they are up-to-date on the latest automotive technology. Quality Parts and Tools: Reputable mechanics use genuine OEM parts and state-of-the-art equipment. This ensures that your car is repaired using the highest quality components, preserving its value and performance. Warranty Protection: When you choose a certified mechanic, you're often protected by warranties on parts and labor. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your repairs are backed up and you won't be left with unexpected costs. Avoid Voiding Your Warranty: Using non-certified mechanics can void your car's manufacturer warranty. This means you could be responsible for costly repairs if something goes wrong. Trust and Reliability: Certified mechanics have a reputation to uphold. They are committed to providing quality service and building customer trust. When you choose a certified mechanic, you know you're in good hands. Choose a certified mechanic and protect your investment. Your car deserves the best care. #CarRepair #CertifiedMechanic #Automotive #Maintenance #WarrantyProtection #QualityParts #ExpertService #TrustedMechanic

-An #EV is hard to service? -An EV requires no #maintenance. -I am afraid of losing my warranty. -As a vehicle mechanic I will lose my job because of #electricvehicles. -You cannot #travel in an EV. -I don't want to waste hours taking my EV to service and get an ICE loaner. (Dear OEMs/vehicle dealers just... NO! stop doing this🤯) --------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a brilliant guy called Matt Cleevely AAE MIMI who has busted all the above myths and it has worked out so well, that he is #hiring again. I've got to service my EV and would love for a specialist to show up at my doorstep and not to search for a ZE Ready workshop. At the beginning not everyone was allowed to touch EVs (that should continue like that, you need 400V high voltage certification to work on an EV). Some dealers take it more or less seriously, the worst I had was a Renault workshop attached to a multi brand car dealer, who looked at the km driven and immediately wanted to change my brake pads. 🚩🚩🚩 I didn't even ask, if he had ever touched an EV, turned around and left. Same guy didn't let me use his air compressor, because he was closing (nearest possibility to inflate tire was 8km away). This garage was literally 2 min walk from where I lived, but I preferred to drive to a garage 75km away, with a good reputation like Renault Girona - Intercargirona. What would make them even better? To understand why Matt services any EV in the entirety of the UK. (hi friends from the UK EV scene: Could you all SHARE and COMMENT this post for YOU to get the best EV service I've seen around some help?)

Dear Automotive Technician, Do not look away from the vehicle while it is being raised (or lowered) on a hoist. Often one side or one end of the hoist can stop or fail, resulting in the vehicle being slanted enough to slip or fall. Take Caution! #SafetyFirst #Hoist #ServiceAdvisor #AutomotiveTechnician #AutomotiveEngineering #AnzenFirst #AutomotiveWorkshop

Your car is a complex machine, and just like an orchestra, every part needs to function perfectly for a smooth ride. But what happens when a key component goes out of tune? The vehicle technician is the conductor who diagnoses problems and restores your car's harmonious performance. Vehicle technicians are more than just mechanics; they're detectives, surgeons, and communicators. They wear many hats throughout their day, ensuring your car runs safely and efficiently. With a keen ear and specialised tools, technicians pinpoint the cause of strange noises, warning lights, or performance issues. From faulty spark plugs to hidden leaks, they act as detectives to solve the mystery. Once a problem is diagnosed, the technician becomes a skilled mechanic. They meticulously repair or replace faulty components, ensuring your car regains its former glory. This may involve intricate tasks like rebuilding an engine or calibrating delicate sensors. ✅ More Than Just a Job Being a vehicle technician is a dedication to keeping the automotive world in tune. It's a skilled profession that requires a blend of knowledge, precision, and customer service. ➡️ Are you an automotive technician dreaming of taking your career in UK?
