It just might be easier for technicians to change a vehicle's transmission than get the skinny on prospective employers.
But WrenchWay, a job-recruitment platform for both technicians and service departments, is changing that dynamic by giving techs an insider's view of dealerships' operations, equipment, pay levels, company culture and other pertinent information.
"We give dealership fixed ops departments a way to differentiate themselves in the marketplace," says Mark Wilson, the Wisconsin-based company's CEO and co-founder with Jay Goninen. "It's not so much a ratings system for service departments — it's more about transparency."
