New Job

Good job man....i did 20 months at UTI 16 weeks of that being Fords FACT training. intensive ford credentials training. i'll be a master tech this year. crazy to think a 22 year old could pack in enough school to be a master tech before alot of guys 10 years in the feild. Dont worry they hate me, if you do good they'll hate you too......

Great job you got lined up. I got a job at my local Ford dealer a year and 4 months ago, while only 19, and still in my first semester of technical school. In that time ive been the go to guy for most motor work, including diesel. When a job is on the line, and someone isnt getting the job done, they come looking for me. Work hard and show the bosses what you can do, and theyll notice.

Thanks for the props guys. I actually went over there this past saturday to meet and greet the current techs. They were actually impressed how much I knew with no formal training, and said I'd do just fine after I'm done with the Lexus training program. That was pretty awesome to say the least.

The dealership is pretty amazing in of itself. All the latest equipment and up to date machines (they even have a lathe for some reason!). I'm quite excited to start my training.

Is the lathe a brake lathe?

Is the lathe a brake lathe?

Yeah it is. With rotors so cheap these days (at least in my area) there's few that will even turn them for you. I didn't know dealerships still did it. Good thing to know I suppose.
