Technician Retention Program: Basic Package
For every new technician entering the auto industry, three are departing. To make matters more challenging, competing dealerships are actively poaching your technicians. Recognizing these challenges, DealerPRO created the Technician Retention Program (TRP). Developed in collaboration with Sonic Tools, this program introduces a Tool Retention Component, elevating employee loyalty and ensuring long-term retention.
How Does the TRP Work?
Building upon the foundation of TCP training, graduates are equipped with a Sonic Quick Lane 190 Piece Tool cart. It is still referred to as ‘Quick Lane’ set – we refer to it as ‘190-Piece Quick Service Toolset and Cart’
This not only empowers them with the tools necessary to excel but also ties them into a 24-month employment commitment. Should they honor this commitment, the tools and cart become theirs to keep.

Why This Matters:
Many new technicians face financial barriers in acquiring essential tools. A dealership’s investment of $2,766 for the toolset in exchange for a 24-month commitment results in mutual benefits.
Tools: More than Just Instruments
For a technician, tools symbolize more than just their trade—they represent growth, commitment, and professional evolution. By offering tool ownership as a part of our program, we’re providing technicians with a compelling reason to remain with the dealership.

Added Perks:
Every technician who successfully completes the TCP training is rewarded with a TCP/Sonic membership code. This entitles them to a 10% discount on future tool purchases, ensuring they’re well-equipped while preventing potential debts from tool trucks.
DealerPRO‘s Technician Retention Program is more than just an initiative—it’s a commitment to fostering growth, loyalty, and professional excellence within your dealership’s technician team.
