BMW Parts man salary?

[Kruzen]

Parts guys get 20$ an hour? what the fuck. How brainless can that job be, match part to part number. voila.

Which bolts are you talking about? The bellhousing bolts or the mount bracket bolts?

Bellhousing. I handed the dude a printout from the ETK with the parts & PN's listed.

After having to explain 5 (yes, 5) times to the parts monkey this weekend what I wanted when I said "transmission mounting bolts", I sure as hell hope it's a lot less than 17/hr.

Just talked to the parts manager today, and he said Im at the top of the list. There is going to be an opening soon... And hes going to quit in 6 months to get a job in law enforcement. That'd give me 6 months to prove myself enough to take his job over lol.

if you have exp. you can make up to 20 an hour? I used to work at Brecht..

[jflip2002]

I hope I got this job. For some reason out of the blue today I got fired lol. Because I make too much money (allegedly). Im assuming/hoping BMW called my work, and asked for a heads up. And being the beginning of the fiscal year, they decided to cut my loose now. Kinda shitty, but at least Im out of Napa.

I know he was talking about the SF dealer. I should have been more specific with that statement I guess. Coast BMW here in SLO is not family owned, is what I meant.

It depends on what specific department you work in, as well (ie, wholesale, bodyshop, retail, etc). Retail is probably the paid the least out of those, at least from my experience. That being said, it's an awesome job.

Its not family owned. They run BMW on one side, and Nissan on the other side of the complex.

Cary was referring to BMW of San Francisco.

Depends on whether the dealership is family owned or not also. the dealership in SF is family owned and the owner is a cheap bastard...

lol...

Its not family owned. They run BMW on one side, and Nissan on the other side of the complex. As far as internet sales, I think coastbmw.com has car sales for nissan and bmw. They SEEM decent sized.

Really depends on what part of the country you're in as well as how big/popular the dealership is .
Also it really helps if they are up with the times and sell online .


I was offered a position back in '05 by Classic BMW in Dallas and would have broken $50k in the first year .

[jflip2002]

Not sure if Id do $15. I get free insurance and what not at Napa. I guess for the room to move up though, I'll do it.

[Ben Carufel]

Neil (Turborefriculatr) works at the parts desk at BMW of Encinitas. I'm sure he'll chime in.

[blunttech]

here in gods country the guys who have been there for some time are making in the neighborhood of 40k. thats about 20 an hour. 17 might be plausible in california for starting . altho there is no higher standard of living than gods country there is a higher cost of living in other parts of the country. im going to make a guess they offer you 15. i hope you get it dude
