Starting work as a Flat Rate Tech this week

Ok I have been a flat rater for 13 years so I might be able to offer some advice.

#1 don't be afraid to ask for help
#2 Don't use an impact on a bolt until you break it loose by hand you can "feel" if a bolt is going to break or not.
#3 Don't rush just to get the job done in the "book" time You will develop speed as you see more of the same types of jobs.
#4 Be sure to double check everything before and after the job check every inch and point things out to your shop manager he will at least mark it on the ticket if he can't sell the work.
#5 Don't compete for jobs with other guys at work. Keep your own pace and you will earn money as time goes on.

I made 3300 in commission compared to my other tech that only scrapped out 1200
I can run circles around him and he is dealer trained I'm self taught.
