I worked for 3 GM dealers as a tech in a span of 15 years and always wanted to try to work out front with the customers as a service writer.I eventually did get an oportunity at a Honda dealer and I loved it but it takes around 12 to 18 months for customers to recognize and trust you cause these cars these days go so long between services thats its hard to form a bond with someone you see every 6 months.During that break in period you make a really poor salary if you want to call it that!!! For that reason I quit and tried a GM store and also loved the interaction with customers and the gratification you get with a customer being happy after his or her problem is corrected......something I never got working on the bench cause the customers would always deal with the advisors naturally! Again I quit due to the cash flow and my wife being on mat leave with our first child so I went back to turning wrenches after 2 years of wearing a suit....it was pretty awesome coming home clean lol lol I really think I should try teaching so I will look into this in the new year and give it a go!! Anthony thanks for the kind words .....you have been a huge help over the past couple years.Also thanks to everyone else for their input.
