I think 166 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: it's important and it gives me perspective, just like doing 167 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: this radio show gives me perspective. It tells me what's 168 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: going on out there or that maybe I'm not seeing. 169 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: And he had just started a new job. He was 170 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: with this one dealership group for about twelve years and 171 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: he started with a new dealership group, and it was interesting. 172 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: He said to me that we were talking about differences, 173 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: and I asked him, what differences have you seen in 174 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: a couple of months that you've been with the new guys, 175 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: And he said, I've got to tell you, Ronn. He goes, 176 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons I'm starting to move 177 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: around because I'm concerned about my career. For the longest time, 178 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: with the dealership where he was at, they were always 179 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: selling fluid flushes. And he said, they typically start selling 180 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: fluid flushes at the fifteen thousand mile mark, and then 181 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: at thirty, then at forty five, then at sixty, then 182 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: at seventy five, and so on. And he said, the 183 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: thing I didn't like about it with the old dealership 184 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: group was that everybody, the service writers were all on commission. 185 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: And I said, wow, that's no news flash. Everybody kind 186 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: of knows that that. You know, most places UH put 187 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: service writers on commission. It kind of keeps them on 188 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: their toes. I don't agree with it, and I think 189 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: it's wrong because it creates the kind of problem he 190 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: was just about tell me and he said, yeah, but 191 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: you know, he said, the problem is he goes every 192 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: time they sell a flush, they make five bucks. And 193 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: he said, there's a brand and I'm not going to 194 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: mention the brand here on here, but there's a brand 195 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: of chemical that a lot of the dealers use as 196 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: as their source of flushing. And every time they sell 197 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: one of those flushes and various systems on the car, 198 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: they put a little sticker on the order and every 199 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: time they get to the end of the day they 200 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: add up those stickers. For every sticker they get five bucks. 201 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: And he said, the problem I've got is they're starting 202 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: to do those flushes as early as fifteen thousand miles. 203 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: And he said, I've got to tell you the particular 204 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: line of cars I was at, and I won't say 205 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: where because I don't want to. I don't want to 206 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: put anybody in a bad light. This could be any dealership, 207 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: any repair shop. Really, he said, fifteen thousand miles. They 208 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: don't really need anything there model year vehicles, and he said, 209 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, he goes, one service writer 210 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: was selling power steering flushes on a car with electric 211 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: power steering, and the people that own the car didn't 212 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: realize it, and they were approved. And actually the head 213 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: service manager, he says, the guy above me, the service director, 214 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: caught it and reprimanded him and finally got him to 215 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: stop doing it, because that's just the theft, out and 216 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: out deception.
