Any Dealership Techs on here ???

[prostock1]

well...of course.....

What I meant to ask, are there any on here over the age of 40.....


Just curious if any of the old guys are hanging in there.....

And how they are making it, compared to the way it was when we first started in the business....

I'm not a tech, but most of the ones I know start thinking about finding a different career in their 30s at some point. Usually the money is too hard to duplicate though.

I'm 35 and a dealership tech, just not for an auto dealership.

Doing better than I ever have.

I'm 28 and work with a few guys that are over 40. They know their shit pretty well. But also complain a ton. Bunch of back in my day stories.

37 here, been at it for 11 years, and it isnt getting any easier, the older techs are all but gone, and the new guys do good to do and oil change reliably. I keep saying its got to get better again, but it just doesn't seem to happen.

I left the dealerships about 10 years ago . I will never go back ! I feel bad just thinking about warranty times .

I got out two years ago and would not even consider going back. ten years was about nine too many.
