Well, its that time of year again--time to get a job! I'll be working over my summer break, and I'd really like to work with cars. However, being 18 proposes somewhat of a challenge on my job opportunities. Although I could probably easily get a job at like an Iffy Lube or something along the lines of that, I'd truly like to work at a mechanic's shop or a stealership. Considering how I live in a metropolitan area, there are plenty of shops and dealerships to choose from!
There is one shop I always take my car to, and the head mechanic, Jan, knows my face and my car. People suggested I should get a job as a parts runner or kind of just like a mechanic's bitch to do the simple, mundane things that need to be done around the shop. I also wouldn't mind working for Leith BMW, and I've read that working at a dealership opens up jobs like a car porter (or whatever the title is for moving cars around) or a detailer, but I wonder if I could get a job working in the parts department since I know a lot about what goes on BMWs.
Basically, I'm just askign if anybody has any sort of experience in this situation and would like to share some hints or tips. Considering as how I'm always tinkering with my car, I'd be willing to work constantly because I have a strong passion for cars and I really have nothing else to do! Like I said, I wouldn't mind working at an Iffy Lube, but I'd rather work at a place thats geared more towards European/BMW cars. I'll prettymuch do whatever, but I know I don't want to sell the cars. All I know is that I don't want to go back to the food industry. Yuck.
