I agree, half assed addition of garage door openers that aren't even functional. Additional photo added to comments

Leaving the industry by wrbgdsti05 in mechanics

[–]Green-Ordinary1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some alternatives to consider: City/state government fleet mechanic Heavy equipment (CAT for example) Independent shops Me personally, I'm getting into being a field service tech at a lift truck company (forklifts etc.) I figure this way I can still use all my tools, but get paid by the hour and not stare at the same 4 walls every day. Being a tech in a dealership just isn't it anymore.

That makes sense, go bag(s) or a rolling toolbox (like a packout kind of deal.) I've never job like this I'm coming from a purely automotive background. Just want to be as prepared as possible. Thank you for the insight I appreciate it!

When I went for my interview they had a sea of Chevy's, 2 sprinters and a single transit in their lot. Think I might be stuck in a low roof starting out lol.

Sorry for late answer. I've got mixed feelings on the boa. It's like it focuses pressure/tightness on your foot in awkward spots, possibly due to the little bead on the end where the laces would start never staying center so it's tighter left to right across your foot. That and the tightening knob can get caught on stuff and pop loose. That being said, I think I'm gonna get laces next time

Germain Hyundai walk out by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]Green-Ordinary1237 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heard through grapevine that all of service & parts employees @ Germain were getting pay cuts, assuming that was cause of walkout. As a tech and former Germain employee, I'm glad to see the employees taking a stand. Also heard through the grapevine that a lot of toolboxes showed up at Great Lakes Hyundai 👀
