well, after getting layed off last month, i decided to mooch off of the state for a while, so about a week to two weeks ago i started putting out applications and resumes. i had 3 opportunities, 2 dealers and 1 body shop, and it was a hard decision between the 2 dealers, one was a really big dealer with alot of people and 3 brands under it, as well as a state of the art shop, and i was going to get $16.00 a hour. with 2 bays. shop was huge had 19 mechanics 2 oil change guys, 35 bays in it and 9 computers and 6 scan tools.
the other options, one being the body shop i didnt care about so i just blew that one off. anyways, the other dealer, was at the opposite end of the spectrum. being so, they had 2 mechanics, 1 oil change guy and a detail guy. shop was good sized, about 15 bays total. 3 computers and 2 scan tools. they sell 4 brands - pontiac buick GMC and cadillac. pay was $16.50 a hour. and im getting 3 bays, all with lifts.
basically both the dealers were fighting for me pretty hard. i came to the conclusion that the smaller dealer will work out better for me. so that is the route i have chosen, its closer, about 42 miles away, and i think that i will have alot less stress at the smaller dealer, as its not as hectic, and not alot going on. shop stays busy so i should have alot of work. its a nice laid back place and the drive is all highway. plus im getting 50 cents an hour more as well.
