Around here we just have dealers servicing what's under warranty or the top ends of their lines and a few part timers.
I dont hire much of that kind of work because I repair everything in my shop but I fully understand the costs and trials of running the service dept at my company. Good mechanics are a tough pull and its hard to keep one because everybody and their brother is in the same shape. So you hire anyone who knows which end of a wrench to put on a bolt and invest a lot of money teaching him how to fix your equipment and if he ends up being good then he gets 10 job offers per week and you either pay the big bucks or he goes down the road. Even the Operators union, with a pay and benefits package that puts a master mechanic close to $50 per hour has many openings. My youngest son is a master mechanic and works for an equipment dealer. Even though his "old" truck wasn't vary old they just gave him a new chromed up Freightliner in an effort to keep him from getting happy feet due to all the job offers he gets.
