No and I understand exactly where you are coming. I mean I work in small shop with only 3 master techs there. There is a few old timers and for the rest are about in their 30’s. It is very hard to advance there as because the shop is small for one and also because they only way to advance is to wait on someone to leave or retire.
Personally me, I am very green as it is. Never had prior experience working in a shop till recently and I have picked up the idea of how the system works. I did go to school, but I felt that it was not enough to help be prepared to work in a shop. I know the best way to learn a job is to just do it and see how you performed. I tend to sort of hesitate and back away from something I cannot do or never done. If I am going to make the effort to do it knowing I never did it, I am constantly asking others for help and asking them questions to be sure I am doing it right.
I know shadowing the experience technicians is the best way to learn but I try to avoid bothering the technicians to help or ask if I can be taught. On top of that I am can be patient to learn and move up. I am more focused on getting what I need such as tools and certifications.
Yes I agree wrench time is everything, you cannot go any better than knowing how to repair things.No and I understand exactly where you are coming.

I currently work for a dealership and want to stay dealership. That is why I was asking, if you have your ASE’s, can it be possible to ask for more pay? But thank you for pointing all of that out for me. It opened my eyes and now I have an idea what to ask on my next interview when applying for dealerships jobs.

Reason is because I sold my tools along with my tool box since I am moving back to my home city. But because I have a Snap On Industrial credit account, I am paying monthly for those tools and the tool box I got. I will need to invest more money and re buying a set of tools and a tool box.

Question for you, do you know if you are allowed to ask for more money when applying for a job and getting interviewed when you invested time to get all your ASE’s? That is honestly one of biggest goals right now. First get certified through ASE and then get certified with whom ever I work for. I can be patient with moving up positions.

Wow, I did not expect that much. Yes I will buy tools, although I really wish I can have my own stall with my set of tools. I like to work alone. Although at my level and experience, well I really do not have much saying on that nor do I have the senority.

I am a victim of this situation. I am now in debt because of school loans and tools because I thought I was going to stick around in the place I am working at currently. Now I have to invest twice as much as I did from the start because of the mistakes I made. I guess mistakes help you become a stronger person.

I would say do it if you genuinely know that you will have a job that will let you use your tools. I got myself a set of tools, metric to be specific from snap on along with a tool box. I don’t work in a position I can use my tools because my job already provides tools even though half of them are either missing or stolen. I would really think twice before you get them. One thing that kills are the finance charges snap on gets you with. My advice is, try your best to make more than the minimum payment if you can to either break even or pay more for the payments along with finance charges. Finance charges takes a good portion of your payment. Also, be sure if you do plan to get them, have a stable job that will pay you for using your tools.
