False hope.

Technical lead

Pros

None. They fail to do what they say.

Cons

Group1 comes in and buys up dealerships and gives everyone false promises. They Won’t buy shop equipment. Or do anything to help the shop when it’s slow. It’s unethical to allow someone to work for 80 plus hours and bring home a 30 hour paycheck when it is their job to bring in the work. The company has everything off site so good luck trying to get an answer quickly on warranty coverage. The best salesman leave due to their unreasonable pay plans. The future of the business is the independent business. All customer pay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We hear the frustration around pay and around the support shops receive, and we want to be clear that following through on what we tell our people is a standard we take seriously. Integrity and professionalism mean doing what we say we will and giving our teams what they need to do demanding work well. While we can't speak to the specifics of any one experience, feedback like yours is something we take to heart as we keep working to do right by the people in our shops. We wish you all the best in your next chapter.
