I've noticed shop prices dropping. I did 32 shops with them last year for cars. I was going to offset the cost of a set of tires, but it seems that if I just suck it up and get all four at one dealership, I can use a $100 rebate and save myself a little headache. Maybe I'll keep waiting it out. If I see one go up to $40-$50 I'll try to snag that up. No travel locations yet, but it's early in the year.
The reports can be quite time consuming and this year, the reports have added more detail. We now have to give detailed and in depth information on the phone call to the location with timings, rings, who we speak to, transfers, time of day, and such. I'm not against doing the work for lower pay at times when it's something I want/need/will buy anyway, but they have been gradually shrinking the pay with a more in depth narrative now.
