Business Spotlight
Joe Zingale is looking into a
new bar code system and wanted MABE member input. He is
looking into it because they want to make sure they are billing
the right time and materials to the right jobs.
Your feedback...
-
Same guys may not use it
properly.
-
It's
a good idea if implemented
right.
-
You need
to consider turnover. How long would it take to train way
new employee.
-
You should have a good
manual system in place first.
-
If you can't control it now. You
won't be able to control it with this. You would just be
wasting money.
Main Speaker
Sandro Menasci
All Brands Auto
Its been seen a busy year for
Sandro both personally and professionally. His son won full
custody of his grandchildren which was a wonderful. He
also moved into his new location, All Brands Auto, this past
year. His quality of life is much better now that he doesn't
have the hassles of the gas station and convenience store.
A couple of weeks ago Dave
Lathrop told us what not to keep in our glove
compartments. This week Sandro tells us what we should
keep in our glove compartments and our trunks.
He also encourages you to keep
the right pressure in your tires and read the owners manual.
Sandro has a nice alignment
machine at his new shop. And just as important, his mechanics
know to operate it properly. On average, you should have an
alignment done every 30,000 miles. But always keep an eye
on the wear of your tires.
Be careful rotating your tires
if you have tire pressure sensors. If the system is not
reprogrammed it will read the wrong tire.
As a
mechanic we have to be fair in price for what we do. If some
charge more than others, it may be because they use more
accurate equipment and provide more quality service.
