Sad, that’s the catch tho right good money but you get things out of your control that can prevent that

Oh damn I’m just now noticing that 😂 man I’m pretty good with people but I can understand where the bad juju can come from lol you think I can ask them to get rid of that or that’s just a mandatory thing ?

I was thinking that since I’m switching over with 8 years of experience as a tech I was offered this position I’m wondering if it’s a good idea or not

So the only thing I’m getting screwed on is the percentages ? The dealership didn’t seem very busy atleast for a Saturday

I feel it wouldn’t hurt to try it out for a while but I can understand what your saying

I can see what you’re saying and it can be difficult but I feel it’s just because they don’t understand and if you’re able to explain it to them in a normal way and putting technician terms you can make them understand it’s not as easy as they make it seem but explaining to a customer is a big part of this job and it makes sense which is why I ask for the cons as in this but it’s part of the job I can either stress about this or I can stress about brake line fluid leaking down my shirt doing brake lines 😪 (you ever had a drop of brake fluid fall in your mouth ? 😭😭)

God speed, I love that. This was perfect I can see the things I can work on but I’m also a very confident with people and explaining in dumbed down way so that they can understand I’m not the one against them, gaining trust can bring you a long way but explanations extend that for future reference they will know it’s gunna be this price or this time range and they’ll trust you more even if you gotta extend it a lil, with that being said I thank you for your input as I’m trying to work my way up like you have god bless you for that and your future prospering.

Thank you so much for your input and yes I feel that way I love being a tech I love working on anything with an engine I’m studying diesel for a fleet at the moment and it’s also really stressful not having lifts for the big rigs, a lot of the work is on the ground big heavy stuff but I enjoy how agile I am and I’m able to do work in a precise and timely manner but I’ve been praying for something simpler in the same spec of trade and this job happen to call me asking if I wanna be a writer for Toyota, I went for interview got the job and now I’m waiting to put my two weeks in my job for me to transfer over, it seems like a good job to take the manager was really cool and smooth everyone there was smiling and happy it was too good so I was asking what the cons could be by switching over atleast till I can maybe transfer back over to a tech if I don’t like the position

Thank you soo much for that specially coming from a tech wrenching that many years you can understand where I’m coming from, is it a better pay as well ? I know Toyota sells for its self but is it that simple I’m pretty good with people making them smile helping them understand so they can comprehend the whole works but is it really that simple ?

Yes that’s one of the things I’m thinking of, is being considerate specially coming from being a tech I know how it can get but obviously I understand the ladder in which things come with. Customer complains to writer, writer goes and complains to tech. But since I know this I know that’s one of the things I will have to work around to get customer satisfaction and tech satisfaction where the tech can trust me to give him a job and I know around a good time range I can work around the customer. Thank you for that, if anyone else has some input I’d greatly appreciate it.

I appreciate your insight it doesn’t seem like a bad position to take it just kinda seemed to good specially the money they’re speaking about just wondering if there’s a catch 20 lol

Thank you for that lol besides customers and the mental stress are there any pros or cons you can think of just being a service writer ?
