The automotive industry has changed a lot in the last 25 years.

Technology has changed. Dealerships have changed. The way technicians work has changed. And so has the pressure on technicians to produce more while dealing with more procedures, more documentation, more delays, and more problems outside of their control.

So why are technicians leaving?

In this episode, I talk about what I think is happening inside the automotive industry, why good technicians are getting frustrated, why many technicians don't actually want to leave automotive but do want to leave the dealership, and why dealerships can't keep relying on hiring their way out of the technician shortage.

The technician shortage isn't just about finding more people. It's about keeping the good technicians you already have.

Because the real question for every dealership should be:

Why would a good technician want to work here?

And if you don't know the answer, you might want to find out before one of your good technicians walks out the door.

That is exactly why I built Bay Diagnostics Group.

I get emails from technicians who are thinking about quitting. I talk to technicians who are frustrated, burned out, and seriously considering leaving the automotive industry.

And a lot of them are good technicians. Technicians with experience, ability, and a lot of potential.

The hard part is, I don't always have an argument for them.

Because I understand what they're talking about. I'm dealing with a lot of the same things myself.

I don't want to see good technicians leave this industry. I don't want technicians to suffer through a career they should be proud of.

But I also don't think we're making this stuff up.

In this episode, I talk about the technicians I've heard from, why they're thinking about leaving, why I understand where they're coming from, and why I still believe there's a lot of potential in this industry and in the people working in it.

If this is you, Tell your manager about Bay Diagnostics Group.

Technicians think management is the problem.
Management thinks technicians are the problem.
And that disconnect is killing shops.
Leadership isn't about a title. It's about trust, communication, accountability, and actually listening to the people doing the work.
Because when technicians stop believing their voice matters, they start checking out.
And eventually, they leave.
