I know theres a few of us. Would just like to know what everyone does in the field. I know some work at parts stores or shops or dealerships. Ill start:

I am currently in school for automotive technology for my associates degree. The course is Ford based but I will not be working at a ford dealership. I will be done with school in July of 08.

I am working at a local independent shop. We do anything from oil changes to engine rebuilds and everything in between. Ive been working at the shop for almost a year now and still learn new things every day.

My goal is to start my own shop. mostly performance with my brother doing body work as well.

Who's up next?

 

i currrently am empoyed at autozone.
before that i was in the military
an before the military i was an auto body technician for 2 years.

 

Me me me!!! My turn! LOL

I work at a Hyundai Dealership in the Parts Department. Been in Parts for 1 1/2 years, worked for the dealership for a total time of 2 years and a month. I can't say I've loved every minute of it, but I really enjoy it, being a certified car nut and all.

We do anything and everything. Any questions you have about recalls or whatever, just ask, I can look that stuff up for you by your VIN and get specific info for your vehicle.

 

im at autozone too. GET IN THE ZONE!!!!!!!!!!

 

I work at a Canadian version of NAPA I guess (Benson Auto Parts). I sell parts to garages like you Ericy321.

 

I tune eveything from RX7 to skylines. do alot of customs fab and work..
right now i am working on my car and a 900hp skyline for a coustomer.
he took it to three other shops and they could not do it.. I have been in shit since i was in high school..
in about 1 year from now i will come to the us and make my own shop

 

You would do great over here I bet, MJ. I really want to do my own shop. We dont have any shops around here focused on performance or anything so I would be able to make good money

 

i work at a tire and lube shop doing undercoating, tires, and oil changes and stuff. and i do side jobs for freinds in my rent-a-shop for cash. its sad, my freinds can pay for all this stuff being done to the car and im still saving for my new soundsystem lol

 

My turn I suppose:

I work in a Western Auto as a Lube/Tire Tech. Before that I worked in an independant shop doing a variety of things and learning doing that. Unfortuately, they didn't do as much business as they wanted to and I had to be let go. Its a shame because I loved the job.

On the side I do everything from: Turbo installs/un-installs, Headers, Exhaust, head gaskets. A whole host of things. I'm still learning but I learn incredibuly fast wink1.gif I absolutely LOVE doing engine work, I might try and pick up a second job in an engine machine shop.

 

Currently I am working for Oreilly Auto Parts, I have been there since April of this year. Also I am going to The School of Automotive Machinists here in Houston. Everything we do is strictly performance engines. Boring, Honing, Balancing, Engine Dyno, Porting, EVERYTHING. S.A.M. I willl be graduating like January of 2009 and I even might take there CNC course after that. I hope to end up at like a NHRA Pro Stock race shop or something of that nature.

Before that I was working at Brake Check for almost 1 year.
