Pro tip: Tuesday my bay stayed empty until 11 and I got 2 oil leaks done by lunch
Every car that rolled in had clean paperwork and parts already on the shelf, which almost never happens at our place. That one quiet morning made me realize how much time I lose hunting down the service writer for answers. What is your trick for keeping a job moving when nobody up front will talk to you?
Did you ever notice how one good morning can mess with your head like that? I used to figure chasing down the front desk was just part of the deal, but watching a whole day go smooth made me change my mind. Now I just park the ticket on the writer's desk with a sticky note and keep rolling, sitting there waiting on them kills more time than the job itself.
