how old to work at dealer?

[apzak]

how old do i have to be to work at nissan dealer? Like parts sales or the cashier?

[Mr1der]

probably 18, though my lil bro did work at a GM dealer changing oil while he was still in high school

[f8sjester]

most jobs (dealership or otherwise), you'd have to be 18. . . but i think you can get a work permit if you're 16 . . .

besides that, it's just the discretion of the dealership whether they want to hire you

[Altiman94]

you can get work permits when your 14.

Hmmm ive been thinking of trying to get a job at a dealership, but is going to college and working at a dealership smart?

[Bubba1]

Sure. I worked my way thru HS and college at a British Leyland/fiat/Lancia/Saab dealer. Detailing cars and doing minor work, deliveries cars. It was fun especially being a car nut. Nice people, decent $. Far better than fast food or retail

FYI I began working at that dealer two years before I had a drivers license. I believe there are some NICO folks that work at dealerships that could perhaps share their views about it

i would say its all up to the dealership...i dont see why they would not hire a 16 year old...as long as you have a lisence (SP?)

Jesus christ! The technicians at that dealership must have been masochists. I wouldn't want to work on any one of those cars, let alone all of them.

I started out as a detailer and a mechanic's helper. They had an indoor wash bay and a nice lighted/heated area to detail in the winter. After I had gotten my license I started to deliver cars, run for parts and trade cars with other dealers in addition to the detailing and minor mechanical stuff. It was a fun job for a teen car nut.

jacob, yeah, you're right. This dealer dropped British Leyland before they withdrew from the US market because the cars were so awful. ALWAYS in for warranty work, usually electrical problems. Fun cars, but having seen them up close, I have zero desire to own one

[Dano]

sweet, sounds like that job was a blast!!!

I wish we had more crazy european dealerships around here.

[Mr1der]

I'm thinking there was a Puegeot dealer in Nashville at one point, I know there used to be a Ferrari dealer.

ah the joys of DRIVING BY the lot, too bad it's not here still so I could uh...hell like they'd let me sit in one...

You have to be 18 for insurance reasons.
