Interesting thread, this.

Just to throw my particular brand of breadcrumbs on the water, I
once -twice-had rear axle bearing failure that was (eventually) traced to an
electrical problem of all things. And all crdit to my brother in law who
thought outside the box tocome up with the answer.

BTW, it wasnt a jeep, it was a 72 victor FE

 

Maybe that's why every couple of years he adds another bay

good luck to the guy, especially if he's happy, but it does sound a little
like he's the victim of his own sucess.
Me personally, I work to live , not live to work.

Do you know what flat rate means? It means you'll get paid the same
even if you work on it for twice as long as you're getting paid for to
fix it right, so where's the incentive?

A clearer definition of flat rate:

If the rate manual gives four hours to do a particular job, for an arbitrary
figure. You take eight hours. You get paid for four hours, and if it comes
back for defective workmanship, not a part failure in the allotted warranty
time.

Guess what? you fix it for free!

So in essence, a flat rate technician is most likely the technician you want
working on your car!

Employers are very leery about putting shoddy or inexperienced technicians
or butchers on flat rate!

The End.
