What if your best tech quit tomorrow?
If losing one person would throw your whole shop into chaos, you don't have a hiring problem. You have a bench problem. This free training helps shop owners fix that before it hurts worse.
- 60 minutes, live β not a recording
- Limited to 10 shop owners per session

Built for shop owners, not shop dreamers
Sessions are capped at 10 seats so every attendee gets real time with Rick. Here's who gets the most out of it.
This training is for you if:
- You own or manage an independent auto repair shop
- You've felt the panic of a key tech giving notice
- You're the one who gets pulled in every time something goes wrong
- You want a repeatable system, not one more motivational talk
This probably isn't for you if:
- You're not currently running or managing a shop
- You're only looking for a hiring service, not a system to build
- You're not open to changing how your shop currently runs
Empty bays cost more than space.
They cost sales, momentum, and profit. Every day a bay sits empty because you're short a tech, it's not just lost labor hours β it's the whole shop feeling the squeeze.
Jobs you have to turn away
Customers waiting longer than they should, or leaving for a shop that can get to their car sooner. Every empty bay is capacity you paid for and can't sell.
The team feels it too
When one tech carries the load of two, burnout follows β and your best people are the ones most likely to walk when the shop leans on them too hard.
Margin quietly disappears
Overtime, rework, and rushed jobs eat into profit in ways that never show up as a single line item β until you add up the quarter.
Build a bench of great techs β before you need them
This is the same framework Rick uses with shop owners running $1Mβ$5M in revenue. In 60 minutes, live, you'll walk through it step by step.
Spot the bench problem before it's a hiring crisis
The early warning signs that your shop is one resignation away from chaos β and why "we'll hire when someone leaves" is already too late.
The bench-building system, step by step
How to build a pipeline of ready techs using the people and relationships already around your shop β without turning into a full-time recruiter.
Keep bays full without depending on one star tech
A practical way to spread skill and coverage across your team, so no single departure can take your schedule down with it.
Live Q&A with Rick White
Bring your shop's specific bench problem. Sessions are capped at 10 shop owners so every question gets answered.

What happens after the bays stay full
"We stopped scrambling every time someone gave notice. Now we've always got someone ready to step up."
"I used to be the only one who could handle a tough customer or a tricky diagnosis. Not anymore."
"The framework is simple enough that I actually used it the same week β not a binder that sits on a shelf."
Quick questions
Yes. This is a free, live training β there's no charge to attend. Rick shares the bench-building framework in full; if it's a fit, he'll mention how shop owners can go deeper afterward.
Sessions are intentionally small and interactive, so we recommend attending live if you can. Register anyway and we'll let you know your options if something comes up.
So this stays a working session, not a webinar you half-watch. Every attendee gets time for their specific bench problem.
No. Just show up ready to think about who's on your bench today β and who isn't.
Don't wait for the resignation letter to start building your bench.
