Stop asking for permission. Start making recommendations.

One of the biggest mistakes I see Service Advisors make is asking customers what they want instead of confidently recommending what's best for their vehicle.

Customers expect your expertise. When you explain why a service is needed and how it protects their investment, trust grows, and approvals come much more naturally.

If you want stronger customer conversations and better results, this blog is for you.

An Employee Improvement Plan must be SPECIFIC, with clear plans on how and when to accomplish the goals and points. 🏆🚘🏁🤝

Maintain documentation of the development plan & provide the employee with a copy and file a copy of the plan in the personnel file. 📑

This is the type of employment action that requires documentation in the event there is any debate about the existence of a plan or any of the goals identified and achieved. ✍🏻

The best Service Managers don't wait until month-end to coach.

One of the biggest leadership mistakes I see is waiting for poor results before stepping in. By then, the opportunity to shape behavior has already passed.

The best managers stay present, inspect daily habits, and coach in the moment. That's how strong teams and strong cultures are built.

If you want fewer surprises and more consistent performance, this blog is for you.

The best Service Managers don't wait for annual reviews; they coach every day.

One of the biggest leadership mistakes I see is only giving feedback when something goes wrong. Great coaching happens in the moment, building confidence, reinforcing great habits, and developing stronger teams.

If you want better performance and a stronger culture, it starts with timely feedback.

👉 Read my latest blog: https://fairchildautomotivesolutions.com/2026/07/28/why-great-service-managers-coach-every-day-with-feedback/

Great Service Managers don't just manage people; they develop them.

Real leadership happens in the moment. A few minutes of timely, meaningful feedback can build confidence, reinforce great habits, and improve performance far more than a yearly evaluation ever will.
