So far the management looks great & I’ll know who I will be working with if the service manager plans to retire anytime soon. Since there’s 3 service bays and only two tech(I’m 1 of them, but only do lube for now) I think I will be fine on flag rate hours, just depending on how busy the small dealership will get.

I did 9 oil changes today due to the other tech being sick🫣

1.I asked my service manager how much senior certified(Tier 2 certified, Tier 3 is master & highest level) make and he said 70-90k. I would be satisfied if it’s enough to suppose a future spouse

2.No clue yet

3.Since I live in West Tx we have bunch of diesel, heavy equipment and oil field work, I’d most likely go to diesel.

4.Continuation of prev question, very willing to work diesel if auto doesn’t go as planned, I will most likely be in a program where I do 1 extra semester for a diesel degree
