There is a dealership in Edmonton that constantly bombards the Ontario job sites looking for techs. I believe the dealership is Denny Andrews Ford... This ad has run almost daily for 6 months or more...

So, what's with this place? Why can't they staff the place? Is there no local talent? From what I can see, it looks like it might be a bit low on the pay scale for the Alberta dollar... What gives?

The wage offered is typical for a licenced fully trained Alberta Ford tech. As far as hiring more people I can't say for sure, but you would shake your head at the amount and size of some of the dealerships in Edmonton, not just Ford. They are huge. I doubt there is enough work to fill every bay with a constant flow of vehicles. We went a bit bigger, but not by much. The others are going over kill, it's stupid. I will do some digging, our management is good about keeping tabs on the surrounding dealerships, I am sure I can find out for info.

Can't say a darn thing about their shop, but for sure they are pretty darn big on advertising and sales. Of all the 'out of territory' stickers that I see around here the most popular is Derry Andrews. Lots of Yukoners going south and coming bank with pick em up trucks off of their lot.
