    Default AS A MECHANIC

    As a Tech I have been offered a job for ?10 less a week, ?8 a time for myself using my aircon machine and he pays for the gas all in his time, use of a recovery truck, workshop to use on my day off, 20 days a year holiday, part exchanges, not MOT testing, no time limits-just fix the cars and no weekend working.

    I knew there was something I forgot - 4 days a week

    DO YOU THINK I SHOULD TAKE IT

    1) can you do MOT testing to stop your license expiring
    2) can you afford the drop in wages?
    3) what about filters for you a/c machine?

    That sounds good to me. you could easily earn more than the tenner you lose on the day you have off.

    How does it compare to you current job?

    Its for a car sales place and they want me to just get the cars ready for sale and any repairs required. Its a small workshop but has a 4 post and 2 post ramp,Ethos scanner provided. No customers to deal with,no time to work too within reason. The best thing is the guy was a mechanic when he first started out and is not an ignorant sales *****.
    Nearly my own boss but with someone paying my wages

    Are you able to access Digitl Kaos from there? - VERY VERY important

    if yes - take it - case closed - edit your siggy and FOFO

    if no then stay where you are

    It sounds very good. I would go for it as long as he is willing to pay you the same ever week even when work is slow. Who is it for? I want that job (i think im about 20 miles away from you)

    You might struggle with just an ethos. I used to have one and there quite limited to what they can do.

    That?s how it sounds (reads). Why you wanna change and what are the alternatives?
    Yesterday we stood in front of the abyss. Today we'll move ahead.

    If you need any repair manual, pm me- maybe I can help you.

    sometimes the grass IS greener, BUT... if it seems just too good to be true... IT IS.

    flip a coin and be prepared to put one down to experience.

    Dont put off doing things until tomorrow, if you enjoy it you can do it again tomorrow.


    Do what you think is best,

    Good luck either way!
