Some Sears Auto Service Advisers Still Get Commissions: Service advisers at 14 Sears auto shops are still being paid on a commission basis despite Sears’ pledge to abolish the policy, the company said. Because the service advisers are represented by labor unions, the company must negotiate any changes in work rules and wages. Sears pledged to do away with commissions after California’s consumer affairs agency said an undercover investigation found a pattern of unnecessary repairs and overcharging.
