Recently got a job at mini cooper dealer, very nervous but gonna stick this one out regardless, I understand I’m not going to turn that many hours in my first couple of weeks but I want to give this trade a solid shot… and hopefully I’m not gonna only changing oil for the next couple of months…… the manger also said I would be able to do “B” tech jobs . I only have brief professional experience in the trade. And does everyone hate flat rate ? I know it has it pros and cons , I am hoping the shop will be busy, and one of the questions I did ask! He claimed it was but we shall see

I’ve been flat rate for over a decade now. My suggestion is don’t become overconfident at first, do things by the book every time you do a new to you repair and learn how to do it faster bit by bit. Also DO not be the annoying guy in the shop asking for help if you have not done your homework. It gets annoying when you ask for help empty handed. Look at the instructions and testing and if you’re stuck then ask for help not before.

buy a log book… keep each work order number and how many hours you should be paid for it in that book… the cars license number or partial last digits of the vin number…
so you can compare your hours to the pay stub hours when you get your pay check…
