Are you looking for something with cars or just anything? You can always try dealerships.

Yea dealerships are kinda slow this time of the year. The department im in almost completely dies around thanksgiving till after xmas and being on flag time makes it tough at times. If you decide to go to a dealership and are trying to be a tech, be either a frontend/brake or transmission tech. There the only two guys at my work that i see have steady work year round.

I wish i had brought the damn grill. went to fire it up to day and it was out of propane. any one wanna meet at anyones house and have a BBQ only thing that would be required would be a grill. and some onions;) .

Lynn Smith Chevrolet out in burleson. Im a PDI Tech (what gm calls it) Basicly when the new cars come from the plant i pull all the plastic off them, look them over for damages,defects,etc. Slap a inspection sticker on them then tear ass down the service road.

But when its slow like it is now i sit in a office on the net all day, and work on RVs

Nope Sorry, I got lucky and filled a spot. It is a fun job at times. Get to drive z06 down and get on them make sure they shift right,etc. :nana2 In the summer pulling thick plastic and doing about 30 cars a day will build up some muslces in your lower arms (one of them atleast, other arm holds all the plastic) and you will sleep like a baby at night.


If you want to work at a dealership i can have my mom ask her friend if theres anything at buz post on i20 and cooper in arlington

That would be cool. I just need something that doesn't pay very bad and i can get 30-40hrs/week. Entry level tech, PDI:banana: , porter, detailer.
I can move school around from. the morning class which gets out at 1:30pm to the evening class that starts at 6:30pm.

tony I called Dick's A.P. and talked to lance. He said they were filled but he would give me a for sure answer in 2-3 days.

Thx poorsvtman I apreciate it.

No problem mang :tu: . Anything to help a fellow friend.

But i work from around 730ish-530/6. But hopefully ill be finding a new job a fe months after xmas. Being a PDI tech is fun and all but ive been working out side and in shops around loud crap since i was 13 and now im 20 i have knees worse than the 70-80 year old guys that work part time at the dealership and my hearing is getting worse.

Basicly just would like to have a quiet job in an Air conditioned enviroment :d
