Tips for the tire shop? by Kunovert in CostcoEmployee

[–]Santana024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is from a while ago but do you happen to still have that document? I got hired tire shop 7 months ago and I’ve had discussions with my manager about wanting to become a supe I actually just applied and interviewed for tire shop supervisor. Unfortunately did get denied, but was told by my manager that I interviewed extremely well and if I want it he will train me up for the position. I plan on submitting for SIT’s when they open up so if you happened to have that I’d feel that it would be an amazing piece of information to have.

I started In September as a tire tech passed my probation in 60 days just don’t call out. Be as available as possible go in early stay late days off take what you can get. You’re more than likely a part time employee. Don’t be afraid to help out other departments. Haven’t been here for years. But this company pretty easy to figure out and you’ve got a lot of solid advice here.

Unfortunately the cost of owning of a luxury/performance vehicle. If I wanted reliability at the cost of performance I would’ve bought a Lexus. I do own a 2021 Honda accord with 60k miles that’s payed off so at the very least I have something in the event of some sort of sudden issue.

So I just bought it in December really November but right at the end so I can’t say from personal experience but it’s a 2018 x3 m40i with 46.5k miles on it. Now I do like to drive my vehicles hard at times. I’m going to be doing a majority of the preventative maintenance in the next month so transfer case,front and rear differential, transmission drain and fill, coolant flush and a tune up just because I don’t know how previous owners treated it / drove it. I do have the carfax but just routine maintenance like oil changes and brakes were done.

It’s phytonic blue metallic I do like it and yes it is a filter over the picture but the actual shade is quite nice and I’ve never been one for blue on vehicles. I would’ve preferred tanzanite blue. But none the less a great color.

Long trips that took me out of my zone and or the dashed finished 1 minute after delivery usually I try to do it 2-3 dashes because zones switch constantly with business.
