Why the Technician Shortage Is Getting Worse (And Why It Matters to You)
The automotive technician shortage didn’t happen by accident.
It’s what you get when:
Complex work is underpaid
Training is treated like a luxury
Unqualified people are put in charge
Politics beat performance
Good technicians don’t leave because the job is hard.
They leave because the environment is broken.
At ABR Houston, we believe:
Training should be structured and paid
Diagnosis is skilled labor and billed honestly
Leadership should be trained, not promoted by survival
High standards protect both the technician and your car
Who works on your vehicle matters.
How they’re paid and supported determines the outcome.
