I was a dealership technician for 10yrs. It's true what he says. After a few years in, I developed a niche for the electrical systems, and whatever other jobs techs didn't want to do. The others took most of the gravy work. I became a problem solver. Make the story short... I felt I deserved more. I skipped the line , went to the ceo , and negotiated a pay that was above everyone's (even the senior techs). Yes, the first couple years were grueling. In the end work hard , and know your worth. BTW, I'm no longer at the dealership. My work experience allowed to me move to another company where I mainly do electrical diagnostics, so much more happier.

The dealership are the ones making the money.

These techs need to open up their own shops. I once had a simple water pump job and paid $600 for a GMC. That was 15 years ago and the final straw. I have not been to a mechanic since. I’ve done all my work since and have done the clutch, suspension, brakes and cooling system overhaul.

Dealerships screw customers over and the employees I see.

Lol 😂welcome to the dealership. The US brands like Ford, pay way better 😊 I worked at Toyota and Ford. Toyota is not gonna pay you.

sounds like sum real human slavery type shit (esp working for brands that're big) best working at a local shop if they care abt ya

This is shocking. Also one of the best videos in my opinion. For about 15 yrs. I had what I thought to be very good repairs at my local Subaru dealer until more than once they caused major damage to other components while they had my car. They had all the answers to protect themselves when I complained. Getting the car rechecked with them was a bigger joke yet. I got to overhear conversations between other customers & serice advisors and the nightmare repairs + costs they were announcing. I was sick to my stomach. My car is ruined by them and I hate what they are doing to any of us. I have nothing good to say about Ertle Subaru in Stroudsburg, Pa. Now my car wont pass inspection and I can't afford any repairs or to buy another vehicle. There's alot more to tell you but I don't like typing so I won't. Approximately 3 or 4 yrs.(?) ago I noticed an obvious shift there from excellence to theivery. They are enterprising on scams. Probably abusing their techs as well. 💩😞

I was an auto tech for 25 years. I must admit I was happy with the money I made but as prices rose over the years my salary didn't. You reach top pay and then are stuck unless you change employers. We were generally treated like shop equipment.

You are correct some of the complain but you are a not true car mechanic 😂😂

I like your videos. It's better depending on where you are to have abox truck where you can have it nice and warm and big enough to have a mounter and balancer. I live in very cold climate in canada. Tire change overs can lead to bigger upsales for brakes

Someone trying to make a buck on someone else's misfortune 👎🇨🇦🔧

Ya a buddy of mine bought a Katrina vehicle and it was never right. Ended up being a shop truck. Good thing because it was always in the shop 😂. Ya you gotta do your due diligence. See you in the next one 👍 🇨🇦 🔧

Shoot for the stars! If anyone can do it it definitely be you my friend 👍 🇨🇦 🔧

I mean lol dude just ahow them a finger a put a fact that you are going to eat ( abd nothing is going to change that) in front of them.

Why didn't you go to the Union Representative. 😢

That rational makes a whole lot of sense. I would hope that other shops would embarque on that idea.

Congratulations to have stopped the hemorrhage and kept your health. Most everyone that take a financial risk, loose a lot of it, a few times. You did exactly what needed to be done...accept the truth, learn lessons and try again, but differently.

Great job, I want your phone number.

It doesn’t matter if there’s a warranty or like call back you still need to get paid the same that’s a bunch of bull crap so yeah that’s not good. You supposed to treat your employees you charge so much you say you paid them $200 an hour when I go fix my car.

Why is there music playing? It's distracting and loud!

Hey what city an state were you working in.

I have to say I work in an excellent environment with good manager and a good service advisor. But also work in really bad shops with bad people. If you are a good tech you will find good jobs with excellent pay. Most of my experience are good, this industry have bad apples yes but I’m not going to talk all trash because a few are trash. Most people I know work at dealership they have good experience. Sorry for all the bad ones hope one they they understand and learn from they mistake.

The only way is to go union. The problem is Americans are cowards or idiots, or both. In San Diego the Lexus and Mercedes dealers went union but the Lexus dealer has a bunch of Asian guys who are afraid of management so they kissed ass and didn't join the fight to go union. The owner is a billionaire yet he wants to squeeze technicians for everything he can get. It's despicable.

Same thing I did in my younger days, way to go brother the only person that’s going to pay you what you’re worth is you.

I'm currently trying to get out of the field after 15 years.

Been there done that in Sales . No base pay . Move cars in lot. Push snow off cars, wash windows in dealership,,previous list of old customers ,make phone calls,you don’t get a base pay. Then finally, sell a damn car ,well that car was a this or that, you only get %(small) Amount . Hours were 12 hours a day 6 days a week . Sunday they told me to go check the dealership because we were the closest to it. 7 miles. Supplied me a car ,when I filled tank manager used it for loaner!! Came back empty when I complained they laughed. Lost 40K$ in 4 months. We Quit. p.S. Dealer was a relative.

I’m 41 being flat rate since age of 15. It’s a game and sounds like you lost the game. Not everyone cut out for flat rate.

Another great video in the books. Listen I want to see those ceiling tiles cleaned up once you are all settled in 😂👍🇨🇦🔧

Just wanted to thank you for this video- so great not to have to use a scan tool to set the EPB! I have a 2020 Jetta GLI Autobahn 2.0. I watched soooo many other videos & read EVERY comment- but was left nothing but utterly confused! Then finally... I stumbled upon your thorough & accurate video! Now thanks to you, the EPB is working perfectly and the brakes feel perfect!

You are an upstanding man and thank you for exposing these things. God bless your future.

Beautiful video, thank you for sharing. To be a mobile mechanic, do you need to get a business license? God Bless.

U give great advice. Structure organization time management best advertising customer referral

Amazingggg

a TH-camr recommending google ads wink wink Just kidding 😂

Did you just say that a prius is the best mobile mechanic car😂😑🤥

Great video, It took me 21 yrs. before I figured out how corrupt dealerships are. You are treated like crap most of the time, however the best experience I had was with a Lexus dealership. I stayed there for 13 yrs, until they started changing things around on us. They started behaving like the horror stories I heard from friends who worked at Toyota dealerships. They had the same experiences you spoke of. When my dealership made it almost impossible for me to feed my family I had to leave. I never looked back, I left the dealership experience behind me.

Sounds like my dream job,I don't know what you're complaining about?

Nisaan murano inmovilizer modulo

Cry baby keep crying, I’m working with 1500 employees in my company. Started off with $13.75 now I’m making $98000 a year. You’re not gonna get what you wanted if you don’t like your job leave

My dealer lied too.. they said oil change every 5000 miles before i sign the deal and after that signing first oil change thats under my warranty up to 55000 service reps told me every 10000 miles i said wtf! whatever/ so evbery 5000 miles i change by my self and every minor ill do my self .. and whoever change my oil clips are missing and not installing properly..

I have a lot of similar stuff going on at my job. I make car parts for Honda's and Ford's and a few gm parts. On kind of a different note and please don't take it the wrong way but this is how it is. I do my job better than others and because I can go so fast or am more accurate I'll never move up at all. Promotion goes to people who either refuse to do some jobs they say oh I can't do this or that because it makes my finger hurt or whatever they get the other jobs that pay more and are easier. Even tho I'm the only other person already certified on that job it's given to someone who now sleeps three hours a day while me and a hand full of Mexicans do all the real work. I can't go to deep in this without sounding racist but it's not my opinion this is factual. All my supervisors are black. Some of them only work for the 15 minutes I'm on my breaks. Or at lunch. The rest of the day they just walk around. I hate it because I like working there but I don't have food stamps or government assistance so since I can't get moved up any way cuz I'm not black, well I'll have to find a different job not dominated by black people. The Mexicans who work there seem to go back to Mexico after certain periods of time. Just my observation.

Why didn’t you just turn your career into being an advisor? 😂

After personally experiencing several bad issues with new car dealerships, I will NEVER patronize a new car dealership!!!!

I'm happy you made this video I was going to do one .... but you beat me to it. Thank you. I see times have not changed with Toyota and believe it or not many dealerships are the same way

I'm 45 years old now but when I was 20 years old I graduated from a school as an automotive technician, my first job was at a Toyota dealership in the Bay Area .... I stopped my primary job washing dishes at $13.50 an hour and started my new job at the Toyota dealership at $7 an hour .... and then I quickly realized that this was garbage .... everything you said it's 100% true one day leaving the dealer I saw a young guy my age making 6,000 a month as a salesperson and I was only making like 1400 a month as a Lube Tech or mechanic whatever you want to call it. Everything you said is true. I sold my tools and paid off my tuition 15k I never went back has a car mechanic.

Glad they got the courage to leave and not take on that crap.

That’s exactly why I don’t do any type of business with stealerships service department technicians are ready to go postal on anybody asking them a work related question and most of the time if they’re working on your car they will take that frustration on your car 🚗

i quit the dealer in 2017 and haven't looked back since. I was honest, caring, well spoken and nice to everyone I dealt with. no wonder the younger generation doesn't want to go into the automotive industry. something needs to change, we get treated like cr^p

Sounds like a shit culture. There are decent dealerships but not once have i worked for a good dealer the current dealer i work for is shite but they pay very well so give and take they respect their certified techs but the used car techs they dont. Im fully master cert and i get favoritism and i call it out sometimes i tell em hey im on alright hours give it to xyz tech hes low and i always get weird looks

This guys greed will make him broke
