“I would like to thank @MilwaukeeTool & WrenchWay for the tool set. As a GM Tech and Auto Instructor I have used a large variety of tools over the years. Milwaukee has put together a quality tool set that I have enjoyed using.”

Congrats to our recent giveaway winner, Jason!

Ran a LinkedIn poll to see how busy shops are right now. Kind of a mixed response.

25% - Very Busy
40% - Steady
35% - Slow

If you’re slow right now, it’s a fantastic time to make sure you’ve got things in order. It’s a great time to focus on process improvement and remembering what pain points you’ve had while you were busy. Great opportunity to make your company better!

Had an incredible conversation with Victoria Thomas of @KellymossInc.

I came for the motorsports talk—but hearing about her routines and the habits behind her success completely stole the show.

Highly recommend giving it a listen. 👇

“Found a badass old auto shop and recorded some songs from the new album with my band”

Love old school shops and Morgan Wallen. The collab I didn’t know I needed.

@bluecollarwrite Keep spreading your story! You’ve got a cool one!

[Jay Goninen @wrenchwayjay]

I can’t tell you how much I love this video.

Yes, we all have bad days but there are also so many of us that truly love this industry.

How about you? Any positive stories to share about your experience in the industry?

[ASE Connects (formerly WrenchWay) @ASEConnects]

Comment what you love most about working in the auto/diesel industry. Let’s spread the positivity.

@bluecollarwrite It took me a while early in my career to find that fit. Your message is on point! Plenty of room for everybody in this industry if you find the right fit.

I started as a tech and that definitely wasn’t the fit for me. It also gave me a different level of respect for good techs!
