its time to make the donuts. :mad:

TGIF :rock:

Mornin' peeps!TGIF!:happydance:

So ready for this week to be over. Not even a bad week, I'm just tired. Daylight savings time can lick my taint (maybe I'd like it better if it did!)

Please dude, no cheese.

Some folks pay money for that. Allegedly...

We aint going to the bodyshop if you are eating fuckin' dairy! :icon17:

Grateful I've never had to ;)

Allegedly...

Found out the Nissan dealer in town is most likely looking for techs. My only problem is I don’t have a scanner yet and my tool selection isn’t that great at the moment. My diagnosing skills aren’t where I’d like them either. I’m a glorified parts changer now.

There’s just no room to grow at my current job since the new guy is now the service manager and my brother is the assistant manager. I’m just not happy being able to not do anything more. I want to improve but there’s nowhere I can go here. Sorry if I was repetitive.

Anywho, spent my tax refund on a new stereo set up for the house. Lolol

they dont provide tools?


dude the local big merc dealer here was just on the radio looking for techs for a new location offering like 65k, tools provided, and training if needed in certain areas.

I’m sure they provide the specialty tools, but just general stuff nah. I’d imagine I’d need a legit scanner and what not.

So..................you was full of chit then?

Hand tools is on you. The specialty tools is on the dealer.

Then he'll just sit outside the door and rip at the carpet and yowl until you let him in.... :eek::eek:

the radio ad said all tools and toolboxes provided. sounded like a pretty sweet deal for any mechanic. shiiiiiit i thought about jumping over for sales but i just hate the hours and having to work saturdays.

Probably should have spent the refund on a scanner and some tools. I don't mean to sound harsh, but if you want to start growing, you better make some changes to your life.

:hello:

I'z up. :yawn:

Weird day today. I'm covering for the night guy. Go in at 10:30. Done at 8. :icon14:

:iagree:

This is the internet. Here, even Frank can have a big penis!
:stirthepot:

And with the diagnosing/troubleshooting, need to learn how everything works together.....then put your time in and gain some (alot) of experience. For me, alot of my troubleshooting skills was 25% learning and the rest was time... technology changes so fast that you dont have time to keep up.. its experience and seeing a multitude of different problems and learning from them.

Hendrick Chevrolet (and associated other ones) provide their techs with everything needed; hand tools, specialty tools, tool chest, the whole 9 yards. They want their folks focused on fixing cars, not worrying about paying for tools and cutting corners to make a buck. I'm not sure I believe that, I wouldn't trust a stealership as far as I could throw 'em.. :twocents:

but....i do.......


:ugh2:

I heard that ad too. Sign on bonus too. If they are full tool boxes. That about $50,000~$70,000 in tools per parts changer.

Don't forget the 'breaking the new parts and having to get replacements' experience...:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

The job there must really suck if theyre willing to invest that much for an entry level position.

My biggest learing moments were my "OH ****.. I FORGOT TO.." moments..

it rahal they do pretty well lol

I hear you on that.... flashbacks to my clutch installation ;)

:iagree:
Technology is changing so fast on the vehicles these days. It's hard to keep up. Just wait when most cars go to the 48 volt electrical system.

Yeah, of course... we all do! :icon17:

Youre the perfect example Rusty. Youve done and seen A TON of things... and the knowledge you share just on this forum is top notch..:tup:

Yep. Bobby.

:tiphat:

Ugh,,, time to make donuts...have a great friday all... might be back later if it isnt too crazy today

........but i do.


well i've been told that :stirthepot:

It doesn't count when you're paying for it.

shiiiiiiiiiiiit son......


:wtf2:.
