FedEx to give employees bonuses, raises, 401k

No mechanic makes under $40 an hour?

Ours do in my station

I don't usually opt to touch a "tranny" either...Even though I live in Cali not too far from Hollywood.

That’s okay Tony. You do what you have to do. Don’t ask. Don’t tell. Lol.

You don't have the proper tools?

Outsourcing is not cheap.

They did it to the print shop. Some insurance and many corporate depts are outsourced

 

[Oldfart]

Not impossible. Needs the space and time. If he works nights where all the trucks are in then he would have time to do engines. But I doubt he has a machine shop. More than likely still sends any machine work out.

Machine shop? Lol. Our guys arent rebuilding motors. Ours install Jasper motors and trannys.

Well you are on the lowest pay scale.

 

[Oldfart]

Well you are on the lowest pay scale.

No idea. I know courier pay is 27.08. No idea where that falls.

Machine shop? LOL. Most dealerships.dont even have machine shops. They send out the blocks and heads and have those machined and try like heck to just sell the customer a factory rebuilt engine.

I have a coworker who kept complaining about how bald her tires were and how she was slipping on snow/ice. She kept writing her truck up....nothing. I told her to find a cop and have them write her a ticket. She found a cop and asked him about the tread. He said none of her tires were street legal. She had two new tires on the back the next day. Lol

Good girl

Yes to do a complete rebuild yourself you need a machine shop. Dealerships don't do rebuilds. Ttku

It pays at my station to butter up the mechanics. I always bake stuff for them at Christmas. If they have the part, my truck is fixed and in the lineup the next morning.

I wouldn't have the butter they like.

 

[floridays]

I say a $1,000 bonus check.

Providing you have 70 years of continous service.

And are under 55 years of age.

 

[Oldfart]

Good girl

Already been determined that story was false.

Sure they do. Rebuild trannys often. Will do engines if customer insists on it.

My wife wrote service at a Chevy store before she retired.

Good thing you drive a truck. Your outside knowledge is limited. Bummer

Most of dealership work is warranty. R&R with factory or OEM supplier. They don't normally do the rebuilds themselves. Too time consuming and liability if something goes wrong with the rebuild. Brother is a mechanic at a big Toyota dealership out here. Bummer.

Oldfart thinks he has disproved what I said. Too bad he knows nothing beyond his tiny corner of his world.

My wife sold transmission rebuilds often. They had a booming business doing engines when requested unless customer wanted a Mr Goodwrench installed. They had a Performamce Division doing custom work selling GM Performamce parts. Hendrick Chevy is nothing like Toyota stores.

Too bad you dont know squat other than Toyotas. Bummer

Speaking of Toyota, did you see my picture this morning in that other thread?
