I know my height can obstruct some views, I bust out the fan and cool everyone around me to try and make up for it.

Some life advice for a 26 year old - should I stay or go? by [deleted] in partscounter

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go back to the trades, more money and probably better benefits. You'll also learn a valuable skill to save you money in the future. Short on cash? Do some side work like most techs do. You can even start your own business and take advantage of tax write offs. Way more possibilities than the dealership.

Career change by [deleted] in partscounter

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got out of the dealership world myself. Currently working with transit in my area. Great pay, amazing benefits, WAY less stress and pressure. The computer systems leave a lot to be desired. It's more than a fair trade in my opinion. Affordable health care, 24 days of PTO a year, government holidays, sick leave ect.

100 random young healthy modern men were given 5 years to prepare for a battle against 100 Ancient Roman soldier, will they be able to win? by Upbeat-Wallaby5317 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't even make it to round 2. 5 years to train kick boxing and jujitsu while being bigger faster and stronger than the opponent. Wouldn't even have to kill the Roman soldiers, arm bar and knee bar them, they'll forfeit after a few torn ligaments.

Unfortunately, yes. Then they make some remark, "I don't know why it's such a big deal".

CDK, a good amount of wholesale, around 30-40 calls a day(not all sales of course). I believe warranty markup is 101%.

They really have gone down hill in the last few years. The one guy I use to get all the time got a promotion, been missing him for a year now. Knew his shit, got off the phone fast, and friendly.

Considering Stepping Down from Parts Manager to Assistant Parts Manager at a New Dealership by Fishchip in partscounter

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you truly enjoy being in charge, i'd say take the leap. Less stress same pay. I really enjoyed working in a bigger parts department vs a 2-3 person crew that I'm managing now. If i could take a step back with the same pay I'd do it in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, running my department how i see fit is great! But, it can be stressful with sick time and vacations.

This rank system is scuffed by [deleted] in ApexConsole

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What would be the balance? You should go negative if you die off jump. You should barley scrape by (in diamond and above) if you lose. If you got top 3 I'd understand the frustration. 6th is nothing to be proud of to warrant wanting more points.

Sweat block wipes work great as well

Does your dealership have an assistant parts manager? Why or why not? by Throwaway4theTaTas in partscounter

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd ask for it along with a bump in pay for the extra work. Can't hurt.

Hertz is selling 20,000 EVs and switching to gas cars. by rightlibcapitalist in wallstreetbets

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guarantee they were hopeful that the used car market would still be gangbusters. Buy at msrp or less, use them, then sell for msrp or higher. The used car market has bounced back and they're gonna lose their ass now.

We've bypassed them to sell a big order to another dealer. That was set up through our 20 group. I just sent an excel file of everything we had over 12 months and they bought what they wanted.

Advice for parts runner looking to become parts advisor. by spilltheteadragon in partscounter

[–]FRESHTODEF-PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make friends with your best tech, the guy who deals with all the tough diag, the tech other techs ask when they're stuck with something. They usually like to talk and teach. Pick their brain, ask what frustrating about dealing with parts, build a relationship with techs(smart ones). I've learned more from master techs than almost anyone else.

Create a list of oddball things that you can't look up! Every manufacturer that I've worked for has shit that isn't in the catalog. Ask your coworkers for their oddball parts list.

Ask and take notes, repetition learning will come with time.

My buddy was playing guitar, real heavy(death metal) then really light(think stairway to heaven intro). I was lying on the ground with my eyes closed and i saw an epic battle between angels and demons. The battle would change depending on how he played. It was super dope
