trust me, it's hard to believe, i didn't believe it until I did my taxes, that's how i afforded my 05 srt-4 and to put 15K into it within a year

oh, i was also getting the pay rate there of a master tech, i don't really want to say what it was incase the guy that posted this doesn't want everyone to know their pay scale

[TROLL]

did someone say 50k a year part time? where do i sign?

[05OCsrt-4]

the thing is, you have to have the experience, i was working with them for 1 year before i made that money

[4g4d4u]

roughly what were you making at hire? i need a job but i dont know where chalfont is nor do i have anyway to get there because my reliable grocery getter isnt reliable enough to get me groceries

[05OCsrt-4]

i was only making 8.50 an hour at hire

[4g4d4u]

14k a year to 52k a year working a max of 30 hours a week in under a year. ummmMMM! :rock:

[dolphinS4]

did someone say 50k a year part time? where do i sign?
we could split the job and make $25k each.

[TROLL]

okkkkk lets let the original poster get back to his thread here... although the thought is nice lets let him tell those interested what the pay would be like, not guess based on others experiences.

like i said, no bull$hit. good money for good people. and some great training/certification incentives.

just wanted to also add my store is right on the bucks/montogomery border. but we have 29 stores in the area, if my store is too far contact me still and i can try to refer you to a closer store. we are always looking for talented people, or people with a passion for cars, both of which i think there is a good amount of on this site.
thanks

where a pretty big company and i know we dont pay ours techs that much for only working here a year. plus if you guys are hurting for techs that bad it cant be that great. we have one of your old tech working at my shop now. employers always make it sound like its great til you get there and after the first month you see that it sucks ass and you kick yourself for leaving you old Job. sorry man, just stating it how i see it.

[james_ls]

I will be stopping by within the next two days.

I hate trying to get jobs over the phone....A.D.D. FTL!!

i can appreciate you looking out for other people. i know what you mean how alot of people want to tell you that the grass is greener on the other side when at the end of the day its still grass. thats not what im trying to say. im just simply saying there is oppurunity here, the same as exists i at many other companies. im saying we have a pay scale that is designed as such to pay people with talent a significant amount of money.
you can get a percentage of the work you do, parts and labor. so even on something as simple as an oil change you can get a peice of that. up to 12.9 %. the same applies for that $400 brake job or that $600 60k service.

i cant speak for other tires plus but i know my store and since i took over as store manager last year i have lost one general service employee.

what i cant tell you are facts. my store does on average about 125k in sales a month. With roughly 80-85K of that being service sales, which techs can get anywhere from 5 all the way up to 12.9 %. so yeah no bull$hit a guy who does brake jobs all day at a busy location like mine making $10 an hour and getting %10 can do alright for himself. and i have worked at several locations in my company where top techs on thier best years have made over 100,000. its up to them. i see 700 average a month. so theres no lack of customers we have alot of really good advertising that keeps new people coming in and good managment/tech that keeps people coming back.

plus im not hurting for techs that bad. I know that one of my master techs is moving on eventually due to the sucess of his own tuning business. im just being proactive so it doesnt hurt my business when he finally tells me hes leaving. and as far as the general service jobs goes, its not the highest paying job and retention is a problem for unmotivated people becasue they see the master techs having all sorts of money while they take home $300 a week.

like i said though i can only speak for MY store. other stores other managers cant tell you. that is the one thing i dislike though about being part of a chain. if someone in my warminester store screwed you and youre not going back there, there's a good change youre not going to any tires plus. when i would have had nothing to do with that. so that part sucks, but its one of the few downsides ive found. that and only being closed four days a year.:cry:

anyways my point is i dont want anyone leaving a job they are satisfied with becasue they think i can pay them millions. if your happy stay happy. but if you feel you are underpaid or cant stand your boss, or theres no room to advance, theres options and the should be explored.
Thanks.

Hey James any chance you know Ed Keefe? I used to work at the Tires Plus in Morrisville and at the time he was the manager of the store. Last time I stopped by there he quit or got fired or something because he wasn't there anymore. I used to fill in at the Tires Plus at Franklin Mills Mall every once in awhile also

[TireFire]

yeah i do know eddie.i used to work for him too when i was a service writer filling in and what not. hes no longer with the company he is still kinda in the business though, he is the territory sales manager from ever-wear, the company that makes the 3 step fuel system cleaners that we sell.
very interesting guy to say the least. i like him just the same

[Mac @ R/T Tuning]

Come on Master Techs!!! Do Apply!!!

[TireFire]

thanks for the bump mac but i have a sneaking suspicion that you are looking out for your best interests and not mine.:lol:
why dont you find a new tech instead and ill keep vince. everyone wins.

very interesting guy to say the least. i like him just the sameWhen you used to fill in did you know Ken or Jim? They were the only tech's we had back when I was working there. I was there doing alignments, tire changes, oil changes and would also help out the tech's as well. Ed tried to help me keep my job there but when I lost my license the company felt that I was to much of a liability so they had to let me go. But all in all it was fun working there but the 7-7 shifts did suck after awhile

not trying to knock your shop man, just callin it as i see it. My Dads lost tech due to **** like this and he hates it when they come back in 6 months looking for there old job back. alot of people promise $hit, but dont deliver. im sure you know what i mean.

[KleenS14]

I can bump vouch for the company. I worked for them for about a year or so in Herndon Va, one of their top stores in the country i beleive. People made good money there and its a pretty flexible atmosphere. I loved my bosses, they were quite down to earth. I was only a tire/lube tech and i still brought home a healthy chunk. Loved working for em, and still go back to get my hoops put on. Good organization, good people. Ups.
