This community is the home for commercial repair professionals. It’s where shop leaders, managers, and technicians connect, swap ideas, and help push the industry forward. The following guidelines aim to keep this community professional, helpful, and focused on making this industry stronger.
Keep it in the Bay
Stay focused on commercial repair, shop operations, and the issues that impact your work. Political debates or off-topic rants don’t belong here.
Respect the Crew
No insults, harassment, or personal attacks. Disagree professionally — no throwing wrenches.
No Soliciting
This isn’t a job board or sales floor. Don’t post job ads, promotions, or “DM me for a deal.”
Vendors at the Table
Vendors are welcome when they add value — sharing knowledge, answering questions, joining discussions. But no cold calls or ads.
Stay Civil on Hot Topics
Regulation and policy matter to shops — discuss them respectfully and factually. If it gets personal or off-track, moderators may step in.
Protect Privacy
Don’t share customer data, shop financials, or other sensitive info. Screenshots? Redact them first.
Respect Moderators
Our moderators keep Diesel Connect useful and safe. If something gets flagged, work with them — not against them.
