🎉 Congratulations to Brian Burris on celebrating 2 years with Promotive!

For the past two years, Brian has been helping automotive shop owners solve one of the industry's toughest challenges—finding and hiring great technicians.

What makes Brian successful isn't just recruiting experience. It's his deep understanding of the automotive industry, the challenges shops face, and what it takes to build high-performing teams.

🎥 Hear directly from Brian about why Promotive is different, how we partner with shop owners, and how our industry expertise helps connect shops with technicians who are the right fit for their team and culture.

When you're hiring, you need more than resumes—you need a partner who understands your business.

⭐ Customer Spotlight ⭐

A huge thank you to Tiffany and the team at Lifetime Transmissions for the kind words!

At Promotive, we believe great hiring starts with understanding your business, your culture, and what success looks like for your team—not just filling an open position.

We're grateful for the opportunity to support shops like Lifetime Transmissions and help connect them with top talent.

❓ Shop owners and hiring managers: What do you need to see from a recruiting partner before you'd trust them with your hiring needs?

Is your comp plan losing you candidates before they even say yes?

We just published a full breakdown of the flat rate vs. hourly debate: what the data actually shows, why the hybrid model is gaining serious traction, and what technicians are really asking for when they say they want "fair pay."

The Wrenchway 2026 Technician Report shows 43% of technicians now prefer an hourly + production bonus structure — the largest single-year shift ever recorded on this question. And the shops that aren't adapting are feeling it in turnover and open bays.

If you've had a tech leave or turn down an offer in the last 6 months, this one is worth a read.

Hot take:

The automotive industry doesn’t have a technician shortage.

It has a compensation trust problem.

Too many techs feel like their paycheck depends on factors they can’t control:
🚗 car count
🛠 warranty work
⏱ delayed approvals
📉 slow seasons

And shops are feeling the pressure too.

We’re digging into the flat rate vs hourly debate tomorrow — and honestly, the answers aren’t as black-and-white as people think.

Before we drop it…

If you had to choose ONE:
🔧 Flat rate
🔧 Hourly
🔧 Hybrid

What are you picking — and why?

We’re great at fixing cars. Recruiting top talent? Not where we want to waste our time!

That’s where Promotive stepped in. Bernard from Euro Clinic shares how having a recruiting partner delivering quality candidates gave his team the freedom to focus on what they do best — running a great shop and serving customers.

The right hires don’t just fill bays. They create breathing room, momentum, and growth.

To everyone in the automotive industry putting in the long hours, late nights, and nonstop hustle week after week - this weekend’s for you

Enjoy the time off, stay safe, and take a moment to remember those who made it possible 🇺🇸

Everybody says they want “better techs.”

But the best people in the industry aren’t just looking for a paycheck anymore 👀

They’re looking for leadership they respect.
A team they trust.
A shop culture that actually supports them.

The shops winning today are the ones building environments people want to stay at.

Here are a few reminders of what that actually looks like 👊
