KT, go get a fast food job, then you'll love doin the recall work.. Stand on your feet 8 to 9 hours a day (only get to sit down for ~20 minutes to eat), and then have to put up with a-hole customers all day long.... Then try to complain about the recalls.

yea being a tech is not what it used to be
my brother is a mercedes benz A tech, and has been for over 20 years, a career that he absolutly loves, with close to $100,000.00 in tools, and is looking to get in with the local seaport, because of 60hr weeks and getting paid for 20.
I know how you feel

That's easy for you to say, these techs work hard for what they have been promised, auto manufactors and auto dealers are a bunch of thieves.

My job is like fast food only
My Whopper is a 10lb mini sledge hammer!
My Fries are,one,my arm every time I do a stupid recall,(hose close to exhaust)and the customer is ALWAYS a waiter,so letting the engine cool first wont happen.And the second fry is wires after somebody does a zillion watt amp installation.
And my soda is,Baking Soda to kill the heartburn created by RECALLS!Oh by the way,did I say,I HATE RECALLS!

The only recall I did that I liked was on Daewoos. The tiny tin can they mad, I forget the name, but there was a wiring harness re-route on it, it paid .8. I usually took about ten minutes, and did it while doing the pdi's, so I got double pay on the job. These cars were so poorly put together, I would usually just grab the kick panel, give it a yank, pull the carpet back, zip tie the harness, then smack the panel back in. Of course, I usually got the oil changes that paid .3, even though it took fifteen minutes to find the car in the lot. That's why I don't do automotive anymore, besides, there isn't an owner sitting in the office waiting for you to finish the oil change on his submarine...........
