Pros

Great place for qualified techs who enjoy the hands-on nature of the work. And Jason was a good manager.

Cons

There is a significant disconnect between the front office and the shop floor. Service advisors are often "sales-oriented" rather than "service-oriented," which creates unnecessary friction. Management seems to prioritize sales figures over smooth operations, often resulting in "shop favorites" who get the best work while others struggle with pay consistency and high stress. I have seen many highly qualified individuals—people who truly understand how to run the back of the house—get passed over for leadership roles simply because they aren't "salespeople." A shop doesn't need a salesperson to manage the floor; it needs someone who knows how to move jobs along and support the technicians.

Pros

They have good medical benefit options

Cons

Use to good place to work, those days are gone. Micromanagement to the extreme. They keep some store extremely short-staffed yet expect them to meet or exceed inflated budget numbers. They changed Service Manager bonus a few years ago so a lot of Service Managers lost 15-20% of annual income. Micromanagement, constant threats of disciplinary action and high pressure sales tatics has turned stores into toxic work environments.
