I just finish a semester of Automotive Technology too. First semester included Auto Engines and Auto Electrical. Should I start at Sears?

i own a shop,and its a pretty good place to start from,,they don't do that much heavy mechanic work,so your not going to get a lot of mechanical experience there they do a lot of small jobs,,but don't take on the large jobs,,but its a good start ,once you work there for a while,,it will be easier to get a better job at a better place,if you just want to stay with minor repair work that would be a good place to start from,but there good to their employees that's for sure,good luck hope this help,s

I'm a tech and my opinion is to work for an independent shop. the older mechanics will teach you techniques and skills that no corporate company could possibly teach you. you'd be surprised at how many dealership mechanics can't align a car or diagnose simple tire noise let alone rebuild a transmission. sears will severely stagnate your growth as a mechanic and you'll hate your job within a year. plus they'll start you off at $7 or something like that.

sure. good company. lots of work. but a better choice may be at one of the dealerships where more detailed work is done. sears does not fix many problems inside the engine.

Yes it is. You will get the opportunity to do a lot of different types of repair. They run specials to help business come in. They take credit cards. When I was involved with them, they had a team leader that supervised your work and dealt with the customers for you, this enables you to get work done and earn more.

it's good if you enjoy selling parts and services that the customer probably could do without.
At Sears. you are a salesman first, mechanic second

when it comes down to it benifits count. get the most you can ( $,health care,401k,ect.) while trying to complete you're schooling. it's a start in the right direction. then agaiin you just want to do basic services, or are you looking for book hours, and some serious brain teasers? good luck. if it was to work out for you maybe you can also get some credit hours from work
