    Default Anyone have the hook up at a dealership for work?

    I may be taking some time off of school, as my grades are not as good as I want them to be. So rather than burn money I saved, I think I will be taking some time off and working at a dealership (service) to build back some cash.

    Really looking for those internship/go to school for that particular make of car and work for them as a Tech, not a GS.

    Please let me know if anyone can help me out

    No to discourage you but good luck starting off as a line tech in a dealer. Even while in school, 99% of dealers will require you to start in the quick lube, AKA work your ass off for $9/hr. However, if you want to put some time into it, it can still be a rewarding position assuming you dont mind busting ass. I graduated the Toyota T-Ten program about 4 years ago and im now a Master tech, theres great money to be made with good certification.

    Youve gotta start school first then get the internship.

    I started off as a lube tech, and a year 1/2 later I am cert line tech. pay is good, and busting my ass as lube tech has paid off.
