We’ve Calculated the ROI of Investing in Your Technicians

When you prioritize your employee’s development, especially technicians, the returns are impressive.

The Good News
Did you know that by simply investing in a technician’s development – both personally and professionally – you could be generating an extra $7,685* of new revenue per technician each year?

Let’s put that into perspective. The average US dealership employs an estimated average of 15 auto techs. That’s a whopping annual revenue bump of $115,275!

Here at Mentor Mentee, we’ve crafted our Technical Mentoring platform with the nuances of automotive technicians in mind. And guess what? Investing in this growth starts at just $2,499 per year.

The Not-so-Good News
Now, let’s flip the coin. It’s no secret that losing a technician can put a dent in a dealership’s wallet. On average, it takes an estimated 27.5 days to fill the shoes of a departed technician. Considering each technician can pull in about $622/day, the cost of not retaining one technician racks up to $17,111** over the estimated time.

But here’s the silver lining – investing in your people always brings a tangible ROI.

When you crunch the numbers, it’s crystal clear: Mentor Mentee isn’t just a platform—it’s a strategic investment.

But beyond the numbers, our platform is uniquely designed to support new and seasoned techs. For the rookies, it offers a guiding light, building foundational skills and confidence.
