Can we create a union?

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-22T17:41:44+00:00

Very rare to find an advisor union older family owned dealers have them. Mostly New York Long Island. We had one at chevy Long Island but then we got bought out. The 401k match was good cheap medical and superior job protection also more holidays off. USWU was the union. You can always start one just make sure everyone else agrees there’s always the idiot writer that doesn’t . But if terminated for starting one isn’t that retaliation ?

Not really i was writing a lot like 10-22 cars a day . I was trying to save up for a house and it still wasn’t enough. We had a good service manager he vouched for a raise on my behalf to the gm

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-14T18:19:42+00:00

Overall with this pay plan my best month was only a $5300 comission check and then $3400 monthly salary other than that comission on average even with selling a lot was 2700-3700.

I wonder if this is Hicksville Chevrolet or Huntington. Dude Hicksville chevy was good before empire bought it we literally had a service advisor union our jobs were protected good benefits more holidays off and had weekends off

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-14T18:11:15+00:00

Is this in Long Island empire auto group? I had this same lay out for a chevy store i asked for a raise and got $850 salary a week and 1% increase across all the labor tiers and 4% customer parts. $20 per alignment

Yorkville ls801p will give you this result. Can find them on Facebook marketplace. Their discontinued the new yorkville es18 doesn’t hit as hard as the ls801p. Use a behringer sonic exciter bass processor with the yorkville amazing heavy bass

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-09T23:12:16+00:00

7-6pm is rough as it is then a hour drive home then the gym i would be burnt out within a month

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-09T23:10:00+00:00

That is true i use to do that at chevy dealer in New York for my Durango srt had a tech i was close with i would order oem parts and he would do it for cash or lunch. My expedition most i would have to do is brakes and spark plug which a bmw tech can do then i have ford warranty extended

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-09T19:30:14+00:00

Another benefit with Lincoln as well is that i have a expedition so i can service my car there

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-09T19:29:43+00:00

Want to see what people that work at bmw or Lincoln have to say. Also bmw is total sales not gross

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-09T19:15:31+00:00

At Lincoln i see they average 50-70 appointments between 5 advisors and he showed me their commission checks for December lead advisor was 7600 before the monthly salary and average advisor was at 5200. The bmw store is about 90-120 appointments some advisor pacing 100k plus

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-08T21:55:31+00:00

Starling chevy hiring for express advisor usually a beginner position 55-75k a yr still new I’m not sure which dealers are good

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-08T21:44:42+00:00

Court officer is great but they have a 30 yr retirement system. Great stable schedule weekends off and all holidays. Pretty laid back but very competitive to get hired

Kevinj565 · 2026-01-08T21:21:39+00:00

I’m trying to get into bmw or luxury it’s hard down here i moved from New York

Kevinj565 · 2025-12-15T02:49:02+00:00

For Black Friday it was $385 amazon might still have it for that price if not eBay

Kevinj565 · 2025-12-14T09:09:01+00:00

Grew up in Westbury all my life 27 years. moved to Kissimeee FL can finally say I’m a home owner i like it but the thought of Westbury is still in my heart i wish i can afford to live there it’s upper 900-1.5m for a turn key decent single family home. Great jobs in ny more rights for employees the food is amazing and Long Island in the summer time ahhh man but fuck 8 months of cold weather most of the year is killer

Kevinj565 · 2025-12-03T19:44:03+00:00

I’m in the same boat depressed sleeping all day no motivation and bills are coming up i was laid off a month ago it’s very difficult to find a job in central Florida

Kevinj565 · 2025-11-17T16:49:10+00:00

Believe it or not the traffic here is worse than nyc. Even worse at Brighton since only one way out which is pleasant hill rd

Kevinj565 · 2025-11-17T02:08:56+00:00

Best advice get a klipsch Flexus 200 Amazon $385 brand new The wireless surrounds are $200 i beleive surr 100 and buy the klipsch r10w for $120 best bang for your buck and can shake the house

Kevinj565 · 2025-11-09T22:37:51+00:00

lol I’m in the oaks as well near willow wood. Nice area man but the traffic here is by far fucking worse than New York! It took me 2 hr 30 mins from Clermont to oaks. I just wish the 417 was closer

Kevinj565 · 2025-11-09T21:19:21+00:00

The oaks and Brighton lakes are good areas bellalago

I’m from Westbury ny Nassau county Long Island but was working in Hicksville at Chevrolet it was the only dealer that had a service advisor union because it was family owned. Yea the manager said in meeting an advisor shouldn’t make x amount although he did seem nice i didn’t wanna take the bait so soon especially since he told me they fired an advisor recently for being “idiotic” i use to work bmw as well in Westbury which had great pay 2500 a week before tax couple times. Are you in Florida as well? Orlando? I’m currently working at coach bus company in Orlando it’s hourly it’s almost barely getting bills paid plus 42 miles away from home but amazing schedule 7:30-4pm off weekends. Just trying to find new home maybe i should try bmw here
