<p><strong style="font-size: 12pt">Key Talking Points</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">After Covid, techs were a bit burnt out on webinars and sitting behind computer screens-they appreciated being able to be hands-on again and in person without having to drive and take up their personal time after hours.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Pick an area to focus on- like a business coach for your technicians. Start from the ground floor </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Similar to case studies- using cars to teach and diagnose at the same time</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Training- collective education on a subject matter</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Trainer and technician bond when you’re in the shop</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Logistically easier having in house than traveling for training</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Assessments of every technician with 1 trainer</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Fosters open and receptive culture</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">The relationship between techs and Scott and owners and Scott is valued and appreciated.  He gets to know them and can determine strengths and areas for growth.  The collaboration as a team is increased as well. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Documenting/journaling for technicians to reference past jobs</span></li>

<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">“Coming to Vision was life-altering” Eric Ziegler</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Electrical theory- 85% of high tech deep study cases have simple fixes routed in basic electricity. High resistance in the wire, missing fuse, broken wire, band ground. Don’t ‘out tech’ yourself.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Becoming a trainer makes you better- when you teach you learn, and it forces you to research. Get what you give. Be humble and be present in the moment and be engaged. Using case studies and processes to train.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">“Automotive Elmers”</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Installing a culture of learning in your business- continuous training (with a blend of in-person and online/remote connect).</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Tech mentoring/group of local shops hiring training together- the same top shops that want to train continue to train, where are the other shops? </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Is it just a job? Or is it your career and passion? Reaching the ‘master craftsman’’ in any position takes 68,000 hours, it&#8217;s a journey </span></li>

					<description><![CDATA[Diagnostic Processes - Matt Fanslow and Scott Shotton - Part 2 [RR 578]

There are different approaches to every situation and problem, especially in automotive repair problem-solving. My guests bring their different approaches in solving diag issues to the podcast. They did it before in episode 544, but this time they take it to the next level.

Matt Fanslow and Scott Shotton once again prove their own points in this second part episode. They may not agree on the processes but their approach to diagnose and solve problems are undeniable. They are relentless but their individual approach works. Matt and Scott are fine-tuned by years of experience diagnosing problems under the hood. In the end, we can pass the decision to you, the listener. Which pathway do you prefer? Possibly a hybrid of the discussion?

Both Matt and Scott agree that The customer supplies important data. The service consultant must write it all down so the tech has as much information available. Find the show notes at https://remarkableresults.biz/e578.]]></description>

<p><strong>Key Talking Points:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Podcast episode <a href="https://remarkableresults.biz/remarkable-results-radio-podcast/e513/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RR 513</a> with Scott Shotton on Silver bullets</li>
<li>In general, Silver Bullets don’t sit well with Matt</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Matt believes there is a loss in ‘pathing’ in diagnosing todaySilver Bullets should be a piece of your discover processes</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">He believes they should be at the end of discover</li>
<li>Pattern failures allow you to hit a high percentage</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">You must learn how to process data you received by a scan tool data stream, scopes etcData to lead you to a root cause</li>
<li>Training and networking will help you without going to a data base (resource)</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Scott: “If you know how it (supposed to) works, you can fix it”He believes you need to do your research early in the process with the data bases</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Matt, much learning occurred late at night on forum chatYou can get to reliant on the bullets</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">When things don’t’ go your way where do you go, what do you fall back on?Likened to GPS and follow the instructions and it takes you there.</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">If you lose signal or road construction you need to rely on instincts, topography to get to the destination</li>
<li>Matt realizes that a blended approach to pathing, inherent knowledge, and data research is what he uses every day</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Data banks or silver bullets are an approach says, ScottPlug in a scan tool, record the data and use it as another tool for your research</li>
<li>Matt says if you use a bullet, ask how you could have gotten there on your own</li>
<li>The longer Scott does this the less he relies on TSBs and Data Bases because he has developed a skill set to diag the car</li>
<li>Some solutions don’t tell you why</li>
<li>There are some vehicles that you are not going to fix</li>
<li>Research and learn and make it part of your diagnostic process</li>
<li>Solutions can come from your network</li>
<li>When you look at the top 3 solutions. Consider how you could have come up with them</li>
<li>It is training, networking and bullets</li>
<li>Make yourself a list and go through a process of elimination</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Grab as much data as possible without getting dirtyMake a list of possible problems to solve the problem code</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Start eliminating using the data</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Training, TSB’s networking and data resources</li>

<h3><strong>Key Talking Points:</strong></h3>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h4><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post secondary school</span></h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning the basics to be technicians- some know nothing coming into post secondary</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ASC Education Foundation- set list of tasks to cover in classes (lecture, demonstration, hands on, lab work etc)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Independent shops getting involved- help bridge the disconnect between administration and program if shop owners are on the advisory board</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h4><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building classes</span></h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starts with a rough outline, theory, bullet points easiest to hardest, take case studies and work them in- is able to cover all levels</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Case studies need to be updated from time to time but concepts still remain the same    </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<h4><span style="font-weight: 400;">Future trainers</span></h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re going to be a trainer then you will continue to go to training- take notes on technical information and what trainer does</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure you’re comfortable with material and topic with adequate research</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Incorporate what you like into your own training style</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one knows everything- might have questions in class you don’t know how to answer </span></li>

<hr />
<p><strong>EZ Tech Mentors</strong></p>
<p>We would like to assist shops in developing exceptional technicians, improving shop culture, increasing the effectiveness of communication and improving the bottom line for everyone involved. The technicians we train will become better technicians and improve their self-confidence. This higher level of skill will contribute to the bottom line of your business. At the same time, we will promote effective communication between technicians, service writers and shop owners. All of these aspects contribute to a positive shop environment, or culture, which will allow all of the parties involved to be happier and more profitable. Through hands-on technical training, technician assessments, business assessments and meetings with all of the individuals involved we will change your way of thinking and facilitate the advancement of our industry.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is technician mentoring? Technician mentoring is a training program that is focused on technical proficiency. However, it goes beyond technical training. Technician mentoring promotes effective communication, positive attitudes, effective teamwork, positive shop culture and a higher bottom line for everyone. Passionate technicians, in the appropriate environment, produce quality work and contribute to the business as a whole. As a result, everyone involved in your business team is happy and enjoys the spoils. The key word in the last sentence was “Team.” Although technician mentoring strives toward making technicians better at their jobs, we also encourage the team aspect to benefit everyone involved.   </span>EZ Tech Mentors website <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="http://EZtechmentors.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HERE</a></span>.</strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[Scott Shotton: Straight Talk on Entry Level Technicians, Tips on Becoming an Aftermarket Trainer and Post-Secondary Automotive Education

Scott and I dig into automotive education at the college level. We talk about the knowledge level and experience that our automotive graduates have and what their expected career path can be. Any seasoned technician knows where he started and what it took to get where he/she is today. That hasn’t changed, however, we may have higher expectations of our new grads and that is why each needs to have a career path set for them that includes an ongoing training program

Scott gives accolades to our top aftermarket trainers and gives advice to aspiring trainers.

We also get into the grow your own technician issue, the A,B,C technician designation, and mobile as a career path.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="cfm-player-iframe" style="width: 100%; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 20px; border-radius: 6px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe style="width: 100%; height: 200px;" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" seamless allow="autoplay" src="https://player.captivate.fm/432af981-cc2a-4525-b145-b65ca9a736ce"></iframe></div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Scott Shotton</strong> has over 25 years of technical experience in automotive repair shops. As the owner of The Driveability Guys, Scott performs mobile diagnostics and reprogramming for local repair shops in the DeKalb Illinois area as well as industry training around the United States and Canada. He was also one of the four trainers for the Illinois EPA’s vehicle emissions testing program.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Scott has been an automotive instructor at Kishwaukee College since 2009. Prior to Kishwaukee College, Scott was adjunct faculty at the College of DuPage for 7 years. He has a degree in Automotive Service Technology as well as many hours of training by manufacturers and independent training entities.</span></p>

Scott has written many technical articles for MotorAge and Gears magazines. Scott became an ASE Subject Matter Expert (SME) in 2017.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scott currently maintains 21 ASE certifications including Master Automotive Technician, Master Truck Technician, A9, L1, L2, L3, Alternate Fuels and more.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Key Talking Points:</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post-secondary education. Who is coming in and how are we preparing them.</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Students don’t have as much mechanical experience as previous generations (focused on technology), but could be used as a benefit (input-output systems) </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Graduates have basic knowledge and just need hands-on experience- “Green tech” </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find a shop that has “grow your own tech” mentality to mentor and give the experience needed</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Continue training with quality trainers and events </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Graduates</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two of five graduates will continue for a bachelor&#8217;s degree</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Others get placed at local shops- independents and at dealerships</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How long does it take to become a master technician</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A tech B tech C tech</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Students graduating 2-year programs are entry-level technicians- cannot be considered A tech </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Developing specialties can give tech broader range- be an A tech in certain area and B or C tech in other areas </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A mobile diagnostician is a career path and investment </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Becoming a mobile diagnostics technician takes plenty of time to cut your teeth to become a master technician. It is a huge investment in experience, education, equipment, software, and subscriptions.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Exposing the youth to hands-on experiences</span>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a parent, be involved and keep track of over technology usage  </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Extracurricular activities in school- sports, music, clubs </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Feed what they are interested in and want to learn </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to become an aftermarket trainer be yourself. Don’t copy any other trainer.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you are a student aspiring to be a trainer. Keep a separate notebook on what you learn. Don’t plagiarize and write down what you learned on how knowledge transfer happens.</span></li>
