Hey guys. Talked to a lot of you at Sierrafest and how I have been working for the Jeep dealer in Eureka as a lube tech... That is finally changing.
My boss is awesome and 2 days ago I explained to him that I was totally sick of changing oil on 2500/3500 diesels all day... He suprised me and told me that I am being replaced and moved into tech status.
I believe the position will be labeled as apprentice technician, it also means I have to start buying tools. So if you know anyone who has some Snap-on air tools or the like, please let me know. I refuse to be one of those kids who goes out and drops $5000 on a set of Snap on everything- We had an apprentice tech who was from UTI, had a full set of new tools, but he sucked at his job, had no work ethic and we fired him. Haha
It will be nice to get factory training on the stuff we all like to do... I will be focusing on chassis, driveline and suspension.
To new beginnings....
