Got a job at Nissan!

Post by **gema** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

Hooray!

I got a job working Parts Counter at my local Nissan dealership. w00t! Mediocre introductory pay, but I can get a raise in 3 months...=D Not to mention mad discounts, hookups, and I get to use the service bays! I get to learn SO MUCH about cars, holy crap! This'll be great. Let the "hook me up with Nismo stuff!" replies begin...

damm, your job beats the hell out of mine now(food lion cashier:( )

whats the pay?(introductory?)

Post by **Structure240sx** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

thats awsome. im seriously goin to nissan this week once my car is running and applying for a job. i make decent money at mine now but its so annoying sometimes to be a wiater. and ill probably be fired soon for not talkin about our menu.

yea how much is that pay. the parts counter guy, brian, knows me by name at my local nissan

Is it full time?

Post by **gema** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

I'm getting 8.50/hr to start, and will probably be working 30 hours a week. After three months I have a possible raise...hopefully to something in the 9's, possibly 10. I make 9 an hour plus tips at my current job, but I'm bored with it and I want to learn about cars! ...and abuse the parts discount. Badly.

I work as a lube tech:D the pay is $5/hr hourly pay and $5/hr flatrate... which isn't bad for a part time job! I think the parts guy gets paid more than me though (but he's been there longer) Plus I get all the discounts for me and my buddies...

I also get to bring my car in at the end of the day when it slows down and work on stuff... like I installed my LSD in about 30 minutes last week!:)

congrats on the job gema!:D

I used to work at my nissan/mercedes dealership washin the serviced cars, made like 6.50/hr but I got to drive all the badass cars. Plus I know all the guys up there now so I can get all the discounts I need. Now I work at my local motorcycle dealership as a test rider so I ride all the badass bikes now. Only problem is Im makin minimum right now, but will soon change, still beats flippin burgers anyday tho.

Post by **Structure240sx** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

hmm thats not too bad. i think ill be goin there this week. i can make like $15/hour or sometimes $8/hour cash in tips at olive garden or any other half decent resturant i go to but it jsut gets on ur nerves after a while. its slow around this time anyway

That rocks, i need a job...

Post by **Josh** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

Nice.... I may have to look into a job at a dealership... I've been in parts for over two years now (but only like 5 months in auto parts) and didn't even think of a job at a dealership... A lot of work to do? At the dealerships I've been at seems like a laid back kinda job, but maybe not.

Oh yeah, how old are you gema?

Post by **Guffed** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

yeah i work at a grocery store...bread is on isle 6 by the way...I need a job at nissan man, hook me up! I dont mind test driving 350z's either...

I'm 17. Hopefully I don't run into any labor law problems...=/ I'm a college student, so I think the usual high school laws don't apply to me. I'll find out this Monday when I go to Alexandria, VA to go see Corporate (and payroll!). I hope I like it too! I'll be making less money per hour, but more every paycheck (to begin with). I'm just bored with my current job (which I'm at now), and I'll get to learn a TON about cars. My boss told me that within a year, I'll pretty much know how to build a car from the ground up. =D Can we say, CRAZY mods to my s13? Thanks for all the props guys!

P.S. Think this job will win the ladies? There was a hottie at the other dealership that offered me 4k for my car...I said no though, I love it too much, even though I had the chance to make 2k off it. Think I should sell it?

Post by **Camel** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

yes and go get a better one for 4 k. or buy another one for 2k and turbo it.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

thats a damn good price on a 9o 24o, hell id give it to her if she offers cash, and pick up a better 24o like camel said. or turbo it, if u can make 2k off of a car that only blue bokks for 2k, id do it too

Post by **gema** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

It's fine. I got the job, and today was my second day. I LOVE IT. It is mad crazy fun and I'm learning insanely fast. Everyone (including the mechanics) have been thoroughly impressed with me so far. I hope I get to stay here for a while =D

Congratulations on your new job! You'll learn alot working parts, but nothing replaces wrenching experience. Book knowledge will not fully prepare you for some of the bullsh!t you encounter actually working on cars.

Post by **gema** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

Oh, I know, that's why I'm working to befriend all the mechanics, so I can watch them do stuff on my breaks. Also, I'm going to enlist the help of one of the mechanics here who does CRAZY aftermarket stuff to help me with my car. My manager said he'd probably die to work on my S13 =D

Post by **jacob360** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

There's alot more you can learn at a dealer than at a regular repair shop. I'm an entry-level technician, and tried to get a job at my local Nissan dealer, but they weren't hiring.

Take some auto classes, and if an apprentice position opens up at your work, take it. It's a good trade, tough work sometimes, but the money is decent.

damn...hey..I'm 17...and I reside in chesapeake, va...where is this nissan place at?...was it really hard to get a job there? I make 5.60 an hours bagging(a.k.a. doing everydamn thing there is to do/clean/bag/fix/put away) at food lion...I'd cream my pants for a job at nissan...and those wages!?.....don't even get me started...

Post by **D1SR240** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

thats, awesome, congrats, once i get a little older i'm gonna apply at a nissan dealership.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:03 pm

whenever i went to nissan about working in parts, they told me i had to be 18, and had to be a qualified 'certified' tech. wtf??
