Smart Solutions Take Care of All Three

As of October 2023, the automotive service and repair sector faced a shortage of over 40,000 workers, including approximately 27,000 qualified technicians and 13,500 apprentices. This shortage is exacerbated by an 11.5% increase in total automotive workshops since 2021, with nearly 3,000 new workshops entering the market in the last two years.

Since then, these numbers have remained stagnant, leaving each workshop in the country short of one technician, with 50% lacking an apprentice. The situation is projected to worsen before any signs of improvement emerge.

Despite the challenges, technicians are being compensated above award rates, with master technicians earning an average of $83,000 (excluding superannuation) and first-year apprentices averaging $36,000. However, this places considerable financial strain on small businesses, who must now dedicate more time to operational tasks rather than business growth.

Given these circumstances, every hour of the day becomes invaluable for workshop owners, emphasising the need for cost efficiency at every level. While the shortage presents a significant dilemma, it sparks opportunities for forward-thinking entrepreneurs to address this crisis.

The key objective is to develop products and services that streamline non-revenue-generating tasks, ensuring employees focus primarily on activities with a positive ROI. One notable time-consuming task in workshops is the manual cleaning of dirty, greasy parts—a process historically reliant on caustic, hazardous chemicals detrimental to both employee health and the environment.

Since then, significant innovations in engineering and higher standards within the chemical industry have liberated workshops from the hazards of the past. Now, they optimise their time and that of their employees, enhancing revenue generation and providing better, faster, more efficient service to customers. Furthermore, they actively foster improved work-life balance for their employees, aligning themselves with a community of conscientious business owners who recognize their duty to care for both the environment and the individuals powering their operations.

Jim McDonald, the proprietor of Hotwash Australia, has dedicated a substantial portion of his professional journey to crafting a company that offers solutions to these challenges. His focus lies in delivering clean, cost-effective, environmentally friendly products and services to the industry. With a network of over 1,200 automatic parts washers spanning the nation, Jim takes pride in affirming that Hotwash Australia is actively contributing to positive change in the sector.

We had previously had a hot caustic tank in our workshop to clean and de-carbon truck air compressors and other components prior to remanufacture but had been convinced to move to a newer non-caustic washer when the old hot tank was no longer repairable. We have persevered with the new washer for a few years now but it required too much additional labour time to fully prep the compressors, in particular the heads. From the time we contacted Jim at Hot Wash until we took delivery and had a refurbished hot tank installed, he provided us with excellent advice, support and guidance to ensure that we got the right tank to suit our requirements. The hot tank does the full clean that we need then straight to the re-man section for reassembly saving us significantly on the labour component. Can't recommend Jim and Hot Wash highly enough.

I purchased a parts washer for my heavy diesel mechanic workshop and we are very impressed. The machine and staff @ Hotwash are great. My work shop staff have been able to increase their productivity due to having the washer.

Great easy people to deal with. Since having our hotwash machine, our productivity in the workshop has sky rocketed. No more sepdning hours each day cleaning hubs and bearings. The rent option means the machine pays for itself with every service and no inital expensive outlay. Thanks Reece and team.
