Knock sensor code shows up every couple of months. I keep resetting it because I don't want to change it. 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I'm going to have to man up and just change it, aren't I?
Do any of your techs know how to use a dwell meter, or a Uni Sync?

How many times have you been pulled over by the police when test driving a police car?

We dont work on police cars much aside from an occasional alignment.
howeverm I do have a funny story. My dad is the head mechanic/foreman for the local public works department and works on the police cars. One time while driving one out of town there was an incident. He has long hair and a full beard most of the time. The guy with him resembles a typical "biker" stereotype

Go on...
Do you pay your techs flat-rate, hourly, commission, or a combo of both?
Why?
In reply to mtn:
Could be either, really. Just saying that it's not necessarily the alternator itself.
What would you do for a Klondike bar?

we pay our tech hourly.
flat rate = someone getting screwed
if the job takes longer than book time the shop and the tech get screwed
if the tech rushes to beat book time the customer likely gets screwed
hourly allows us flexibility and to ensure each job gets the attention to detail it needs to get done right the first time
