i have to say i agree with everyone opinion but i guess we all have to agree to stay away from pepboys,ntb,sears ect.. hahah. when it get to dealership and independent shop everyone got their opinion even my self i am working in a independent shop right now im not gonna lie i love my job but i don’t like the environment most of the time the independent shop its small everything pack in one small place great people that know how to get any mechanical work done. then when i go one day a week to my internship in the dealership its a safer environment and the great thing is you get ur own bay so tht mean you dont have to be walking to get ur tools when it get to the pay its hard to say i would say it all depends on the dealership or independent shop you working at

that’s true you wont know till you try but i will say it all depend on the shop/city that you working some dealership have no work and some like the Toyota dealership around my house i hear that making 60 hour a week i personally prefer to stay at my small shop just because i know i will have 40 hour no matter what at the end of the week i work harder and get shitty work but i still love it and i know what you mean about pepboy/ntb/sears i actually learn my lesson the hard way i quit my small shop job for a weekend bc i though i was gonna have a better life working for a big cooperation and then i found out they were gonna pay me 7 dollar an hour plus coming with 8 other tech competing i had to run back to the independent shop haha
well im just thinking about it but i mentioned to see what you guys think i always like to hear other people opinion from their pass experience. around my area in some shop after a year its necessary in some shop isn’t necessary but i was just thinking to at lease have one of two ase or factory train certificate not because they mean something they just make you look a little more professional

both of the answer are great and its actually true that i would be a much happier tech been in an independent shop just because i know i will get pay at lease 40 hour and most of the time we do over time since we work overtime pretty much every weeks to start off a month ago im a happy tech learning as much as i can. im not just doing oil change like most guys start out but im doing pretty much anything that comes thru the door it is stressful someday when you working the hull day in a car even tho i see it as a learning experience also im very thankful i found a shop which the owner has every single tool u can imagine that help me out with buying all my specialty tools when ever i feel like buying them hahah im still planing to get into a dealership next years just so i can get all my certification with out me having to pay for them, dealership is a thought work environment every Saturday i go to my internship which is a dealership they have work half of the day and then the other half they just sit around with no work

i just got in the business and there’s alot of stuff i agree with Eric ….we need better tech but also we need to get treated better even the sale department people get treated better than us …basically the automotive business has become a retail business doing deal with the customer $20 dollar oil change that barley even pay for the oil
