I did the ELTT last year. Ever since school ended, I am just washing cars all fking day at a dealership. I only get to work on cars on Saturday because the Lube Tech is off...
And when the service manager knows you have car knowledge, hes going to use you to the limit (wash cars, mount/change tires, stock up parts, change wiper blades/lights... literally do EVERYTHING).
The only reason I stay here is I get to use their equipments since I don't have a garage/drive way at home to work on my car. Time for a career change my friend.
Anyways, if you are serious.. look for a good company to work for. Jim Pattison, Morrey, Regency etc.
Remember, you must also do side jobs @ home to make more $.
I personally want to switch career now to make more $ so I can afford all the tools + parts I want
