ITT: We talk about our automotive workplace. I'll start.
>Do you work in a dealership, parts store, shop chain, or a smaller shop?
Dealership, Acura
>What's your job title and duties?
General Service Technician, perform basic maintenance (brakes, fluids, parts monkey, pre-delivery inspections, tires)
>How long have you been at your current job?
7 months
>Do you enjoy your job?
Yeah, other than when I get fucked on tickets, or get repetitive bullshit waiters. Co-workers are cool and help each other out, helps a lot with getting pissed at cars.
>Pros of your workplace?
Climate controlled shop, nice equipment, Snap-On boxes for techs to borrow, in ground lifts, car wash around back, people always want to help out.
>Cons?
Owner is a cheapskate so we're left out of BG products for this 'Service Pro' shit. So we don't get free pocket screwdrivers or funnels anymore. A/C in shop is set to 80*F, always hot as fuck.
Some service writers have shit-all for communication, promise cars in unreasonable time.
>Notable things that have happened?
Lol quick lube service writer smashed an MDX into a brand new RDX.
