Technician Find has announced the launch of EasyBench: a membership providing shop owners a system to keep five to 10 pre-qualified technicians warm on their bench year-round for when a technician leaves.

As shared in a recent press release, the platform aims to help shops remain fully staffed at all times in the event of a staff member leaving the team. According to Hunt Demarest, CPA/ABV at Paar Melis & Associates, one empty bay can cost a shop approximately $175,000 in lost gross profit per year.

"Every owner who is scrambling today was fully staffed six months ago,” said Chris Lawson, founder of Technician Find. “The problem isn't that techs quit. That's inevitable. The problem is that nobody showed these owners how to build a bench before it became an emergency.”

EasyBench provides a Bench Board command center for tracking candidates, a Stealth Script Library of pre-written outreach messages, a Campaign Vault of swipe-and-deploy culture ads, a proprietary AI Recruiting Toolkit, and a weekly 60-minute live Implementation Clinic led by Lawson. The system is designed to take 20 minutes per week.

The platform is available now at $249 per month with no contracts and no setup fees.

“Independent shops are not going to out-spend dealerships and PE-backed roll-ups on recruiting,” Lawson said. “But they can out-relationship them. That's the advantage independents have always had. EasyBench turns it into a repeatable process.”
