  <title>SDR #346: Most Shop Foremen Are Doing This Wrong (And It’s Costing You Production)</title>
  <description>Service Managers, Fixed Ops Directors, and dealership leaders — this role can either explode your production or quietly destroy it. Most dealerships misunderstand what a shop foreman in Fixed Ops is supposed to do. They treat the foreman like a master technician instead of a production leader.

The strength of your shop foreman determines the strength of your Fixed Ops department. 📌 Watch now and evaluate your leadership structure. 🔔 Subscribe for daily automotive service industry insights 📞 Got a question?
