Re: Certifications

I'm a parts guy, working in a Ford dealer. Been doing this for 10 years, not currently certified. I was Master Certified, and kept up with it, but when the tests started to be on things like "How to sell to women" or "How to sell to minorites" I quit taking the tests. I treat everyone the same, and besides, I'm with you guys, parts certifications? Come on! They're a joke. If you last more than a few years at this, that's your certication right there.

Re: Certifications

the general requires it , so it keeps the profitability of ase going forever and ever
and makes the state license comission go away , so , plumbers and electricians can still laugh at mechanic's burger flipper -like pay scales
truckers strike ? when's the mechanic's strike ?
I can't think of an industry that has readily accepted a royal screwing more than us

Man, your right about that. We should be making what doctors make. And that aint no joke.
