Time equals money. So, how can auto mechanics make more of it? One word: efficiency.
Efficiency is defined as the ability to accomplish something with the least amount of wasted time and effort, yielding maximum competency and performance. How does that apply to the trade? Better yet, how can auto mechanics improve their efficiency to make better use of their time and money? Learn what automotive mechanic efficiency is and how Matrix Trade Institute’s mechanic efficiency formula can help you can become a productive auto mechanic.
What is Automotive Mechanic Efficiency?
Automotive mechanic efficiency is being able to maximize your production within the time you work by working smarter, not harder, to make more money. It’s an important skill for auto mechanics to have in order to find a job and make more money. Not to mention, efficient auto mechanics get promoted faster and often become managers who are paid to maximize the performance and efficiency of others.
Efficiency requires many disciplines, including understanding compensation structure, goal setting, time management, performance tracking, effective use of downtime, continued reevaluation, attitude, communication, teamwork and repetition. Applying these principles will bring success to an auto mechanics's career. Keep in mind that efficiency is nurtured over time, but once mastered, your ability to excel and achieve financial growth and opportunity will skyrocket.
