How to become a faster lube technician?

So I got a job at bob hurley ford about 2 weeks ago, I did go to a one year trade school for automotive preventative maintenance while I was in highscool, however that was all very basic training and not a whole lot of hands on, we were taught safety and not speed, which reveals my problem I will soon be switched from hourly to flag hour pay, and an oil change is only worth.3 hours (18 mins) and it probably takes me right around 25 but that includes our multi point inspection that is required. And I don't have the training to do many of the other jobs we offer such fluid exchanges and such, although I'm learning it obviously takes time to become quick at it. So my question is what are some tips to become quicker at oil changes tire rotations and fluid exchanges? I work with a drive in lift btw. And tips and hints are appreciated thank you in advance and extra safety suggestions as far as using the lift (because I was never trained to use one of the 2 post drive on lifts) or any other customer vehicle safety tips are greatly appreciated also.

The techs on flat rate can't waste time teaching you the same stuff over and over… As you are well aware: time is money. You need to be responsible for your own work. Look up the info yourself. What make lift are you using find the instruction manual call the phone number on the lift label ask for training info take it home read it over and over.speed will come with time you've had adequate training time now you have to figure out what works for you. You will be slow it will take time you will have homework that doesn't pay. Buy lunch, suck up, Read all you can about the Rotunda machines for flushing etc ask for training from your manager, Take night classes at your local community college.

In addition to the other answers buy your own air or 18 volt grease gun most techs already have one

Work, ask questions. Easy peasy. Goes with any job out there. Basic auto maintenance, few quirky cars, but should be a breeze after a couple days.

Ask some of the techs' in the shop if they can give you any pointers or hints.

But you said it yourself, you're on a learning curve right now. At this point I'd concentrate more on doing the job correctly and safely as opposed to quickly. Once you get the hang of the job, you can look for ways to streamline the job and getting it done faster.

"Practice makes a man perfect" So, I will say regular practice will help you to speed up…
