I’m a grass isn’t always greener on the other side kind of guy, but that is just me.It does have its perks.I have worked at the same dealership since I was 19 years old.Worked my way up as a senior tech.I have 4 weeks paid holidays.In my opinion, if u are unhappy on a daily basis where you are,it might be time for a move.As long as the new shop is busy,pay is fair and the there are no big egos to deal with I say give it a shot.Another thing to consider is the type of work they bring in. Large fleet trucks, cube vans and motor homes are a huge negative for me.RJ

Yes I was at Chrysler for a total of17 years with a break in between was doctor in house with transmissions, it was killing me watch the Junior guy make 12 hours when I struggled to make eight no guarantee and as you know it only paid 10.9 r&r and rebuild 4x4 diesel transmission so I just started 70% the cost of parts and started getting ones in the box in and out and no lost time if the reman one failed . Sad but true

If it's less stress etc then you'll know what to do. You don't live to work you work to live.

Don't think I'll be going out today. Got everything we needed yesterday.

Yes nothing has changed, labour times keep falling and repairs are more complicated than ever.Sometimes you have to make the manufacture’s policies work for you otherwise they will have you working for peanuts. Never understood their labour time studies, just know they are out to lunch!RJ

You have to learn to make money with your pencil and using the timeclock. Stripped bolt? Punch off and back on to fix it and so on. The only way you can make a living. .2 to replace a headlight bulb, you'll spend that time bringing the car in and getting the bulb
