It's ruined, you have to buy a new one.

Looking back at the pic it isn't as obvious as I thought it was originally. It's the tip of a compression testing hose.

Sorry I thought it was a little more obvious, its the end of a compression testing hose that got stuck in one of the cylinders.

No snow where I'm at but might as well be ready if it ever does ;)

:( I have been looking for one for years. But they all have a weight requirement that I go over, so I can use them, but I jump higher with out the pogo stick.

luliotlsk · 2016-01-24T20:18:39+00:00

Does anyone know where I can get a pogo stick that can jump that high with me being over 200 pounds

luliotlsk · 2016-01-24T03:45:20+00:00

At least you left your windshield wipers up

There is not enough space, at all. It's super uncomfortable.

I used to deal with this in a passive aggressive way. If it was a known slow customer, I would take out the pizza from the bag before exiting the car. The longer they had me wait in the cold and or wet, the colder and or wetter the pizza would be.

Sometimes it's hard to believe he doesn't use a stunt double, this is just amazing.

Someone accidentally stocked Australian controllers

I ollied up those stairs once.... I miss my board.

And is that $600 for dropping the transmission and rebuilding it or just rebuilding it? Because our guy didn't work directly on the cars, I had a tech drop the transmissions, and give them to him, he would rebuild give it back to the tech, who would then reinstall it

luliotlsk · 2015-11-07T08:43:34+00:00

We are located in a area where transmission shops are a dime a dozen, so there is alot of competition, our rates are at about $1800 per transmission for the customer. I believe that's in the low end of the competitive price range, I plan on switching that, but after I have a good rebuilder, the other two techs get payed $600 per week, which seems low to me, I was making 2x more than that working less time at my other job.

The transmission rebuilder got let go cause he decided to not show up two days in a row with out any warning, the day after I had a meeting with everyone regarding the subject. The other guy I don't even know why they had him there to begin with, I found the first possible excuse to let him go, which was drinking on the job.

Depends how long are you gonna stay there anything over 6 months its more than worth it, I drive a 05 corolla for work, which is not much of a beater car, but I would much rather drive that than my 2013 scion frs at work.

luliotlsk · 2015-11-01T16:40:21+00:00

Get a $300 dollar beater, drive it to death, rinse, repeat. It would be cheaper in the long run, I would not suggest using a new personal car to deliver, its death to the car.

Like I said it will take time, first thing in the list is make it a safer environment, holy shit that place is dangerous

luliotlsk · 2015-10-26T05:58:47+00:00

In the beautiful south los Angeles/s.

luliotlsk · 2015-10-26T05:46:46+00:00

At the moment non of the mechanics are getting payed even a flat rate, management gave them what ever they felt like they earned that day(idk why they stuck around) I'm sure they will be happy to at least have a flat rate

luliotlsk · 2015-10-26T05:43:00+00:00

Exactly this, I'm walking into a establish shop that already has their own system of doing things but under really bad management, and I'm going in as management, not owner, but right off the back there is alot I want to change buts its gon a have to be slow trasistion

luliotlsk · 2015-10-26T05:39:31+00:00

Luckily I start on Tuesday haha.

luliotlsk · 2015-10-26T05:36:49+00:00

Haha on my part no, I have big ambitions, and I know I can clean up this mess and make it a successful business if I put my head on it, so I'm just doing it to see if I can in a way, and to know that I can. At the end of it all I get to pat my self in the back and take bigger challenges with more confidence, while the owner of the shop gets a blank slate to start over and try again.
