I goy ticked because A person who dont even know me wants to say every service man cuts the clock.Like I said we do have GPS it still didnt stop slopy work. Want to save money,cut fuel costs,be a hero to your customers?Dump the slackers,Even some jiffy lube guys can do more.
It will make you more money.As far as questions on bills.I just called the service manager in 15 years I never got a call about to much time on a bill.Why?Customers trust me.Has it took me way to long to fix a truck?Yes I worked on a stopped up muffler for 3 days on and off.I can personaly say that wont kick my tale next time.I can name a hundred things that have done the same.Im not a forklift god,only a man who cares about what he did in a day.I dont care who is looking over my back.GPS is not a cure all.I welcomed it at first I thought well now these men will have to do their job.Ask me how I know GPS can be bypassed.I have talked to other techs till im going to puke.I dont write the check so I dont matter.I was in management before this I would never go back.You cant be a buddy and then crawl down a mans back.Why dont you pay the service tech who stands out what that stupid box cost?I do like the fact if my van is stolen and they dont see the GPS I might get some of my stuff back.It also would good to use if you get a ticket and know you wasnt speeding.Maybe when you cant find a customer so you put it in and then are told where to go,only ours will take you 100 miles out of your way to do it.The thing Im saying is dont think GPS will keep your people in line.A theif will come up with a way to bypass it.Ask anyone who has had a car with VATS stolen.If and operator can bypass a seat switch or a height switch a service man can bypass GPS.
