Have any of you guys had or have a job with cars?
Any of you guys mechanics, works at a car part shop, gas station, or just about anything with cars. And how much stuff have you learned at your job? I wanna get a job this summer, and id love to have one with cars.
ive learned most of what i know from my employment history.
i started with taking all the tech and automotive classes in high school. then when i graduated, i got a job at a gas station pumping gas, and now im a mechanic, tow truck driver, but i learned my electricity, electronics, and computers first. [ in school, but mostly on my own]
if you want to learn about cars, and your still in high school, start there if theres classes, or get a job at a shop and learn as much as you can without annoying the mechanics.

oh, that definately sucks. i had two auto classes every semester all the way through high school. i would cut other stupid classes to spend time in the shop. we had a lift, tools, ect ect. i rebuilt a chevy 350 in 11th grade. we had a 350, a 3800 V6, a mazda rotary, and a toyota 3sgte to take apart and play around with.

Im doing car audio installations, and not the simple kind. Lots of fun custom stuff, but nothing under the hood on car, except my own. I learned my mechanics from my father and grandfather. went to Mobil Dynamics in Pheniox Az, for my electronis, and minor auto accessories. But still its a fun job, if i dont go def before im 25
