A normal day

  1. 7:15

    Time to do it right

  3. 5:30

    Home

    Most days. On call one week in six, with a flat $250 for the week plus time and a half for anything you run.

Ninety minutes a call, so there is time to do it properly
Every van is stocked the same way, and restocked for you on Fridays
We buy your tools after your first year

Who does well here

  • People who show up when they said they would.
  • People who'd rather fix it than sell a new one.
  • People who want to be a lead, a trainer or a manager in five years. Four of our six leads started as apprentices.
  • It won't suit you if you want to be left alone. We ride along, we train every Monday, and we check callbacks.

This form is switched off because the page is an example. The last two questions are the screen: people who won't show up rarely answer them, and the 7:30 call tells the owner the rest.
