solid video! thank you so much for this video. I'm going to school as well and doing mopar level one stuff. This info is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you! It means a lot.
Going into my third week as a lube tech and enjoying the knowledge cause in the down time I get to learn from other racks
switching my career from the food industry to the auto industry, i never really had much knowledge about cars but always loved them and was always curious as to how they work, so I enrolled myself in automotive tech program and just finished the year with 5 ase entry level certificates. just started applying for jobs and my first interview is next week at Chrysler jeep dodge ram as a lube tech thank you for some insight. Im excited to get a start in the field but also a tad bit nervous but i know thats normal lol ive had 20 jobs lmao
update?
You are going to be amazing bro. Keep pushin forward.
Awesome video, well done... this looks like a great career and it's really nice to see this from a real person who is even thinking about a career like this. Can't wait until your next video!
Thank you Pips!! Glad the video is relatable in some way!
Hard work pays off. Great video Rob!
Thanks for watching Quinn!!
I wish I would have gotten into it sooner. I just became a diesel lube tech at TA a week ago. It's a dirty job doing the oil changes but if you work at a big company like TA, they'll train you and pay you to train and you'll learn to do all of the other stuff with your pay and commission rate getting higher. I work with guys who make over $100k in their $20s and early 30s because they stuck with it at a young age. Im not gonna fret about the past since I'm 34 now. Better late than never!
It definitely can be discouraging at some points, but what job isn’t that way? Glad to hear that you’re finally doing what you like to do! Thanks for watching!!
What is TA?
It’s rare for a mechanic to make that much
Great video Robert! I really like 4Runners and my good ole reliable Acura RL. Can’t wait for the next one ;)
Thanks Julia! I also LOVE 4Runners!
Thanks bud appreciate it im excited to start
Great video Rob
Thanks Aidan!!
Great video, very helpful
Thanks Markus!!
This is awesome Rob! Now let’s hit the golf course
Hell yeah!!
yeah this is super accurate. even the part about their training.
Flip sockets are a good one to buy. I also got an MATCO impact but I wish I went with ingersoll from the beginning
video helped me soooo much thanks a lot !!
Preparing for an interview tmr, this vid answered a lot, and I hope the experience is similar to yours, thanks 🙏
I wish you the best of luck! Glad that my video helped in any way! I want to make a follow up video for tips for moving up in the field. Would that be something you or others would be interested in? Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!
@@Ratedtfortechrobert yes 👍🏽
ended up clicking on this to listen and once you said chrysler i had to keep watching lol keep it up bro
I worked at a mopar dealership and the one thing that has stuck with me was a shop foreman telling me to go to a small shop and learn how to work on basically everything. I do want to work at a dealership again but I don't want to do just one brand of vehicle yet
@@gardenstatePR yup
Subbed. Seems like a cool guy.
Once I graduate high school I'm planning to become a lube tech. Great video.
thnx for sharing! im just starting out as lube tech now
That's awesome to hear! Wishing you the best of luck in your career! Thank you for watching.
@@Ratedtfortechrobert thank you much!
Couldn’t relate more. Never liked school. Didn’t like learning about absolutely anything they taught, from 1st grade to senior year I hated it. However, cars? Loved it. Loved learning about anything and everything when it came to cars. Loved getting first hand experience and doing it myself.
Make sure you have a quality Toyota cartridge filter socket. That’s one thing that might be worth getting off the truck but I’m sure there’s quality ones online. The $10 one I got from the parts store bent and it would cut it in a pinch but not recommended. You’d probably be forgiven so to say if you broke a filter housing or two but it’s not worth it 😂
Hi! 2 years at jiffy lube, good work and variety of cars too work on and tools are provided here as well 👍
That’s awesome to hear! All the best of luck to you sir!
Did you need any prior experience getting the job there?
How’s it going ? Did you need any experience or certifications?
I’m going into college and I’m looking for a part time job that I can work with my hands in. Would you recommend being a lube tech if I’m not perusing it long term?
I don’t know where you are located, but go A&P. Personally I’m an A&P mechanic going backwards to ASE, but I’m nowhere near a major airport and tired of being away from my family. If you are near anywhere near a major airport go A&P. It is WAY more rewarding (way more expensive tools) but WAY more rewarding. If I had my life to do over again at your age I would have not done military and would have Aviation initially. A lot harder, but way more rewarding.
Being a lube tech can be weird sometimes...comment below to let me know what you guys work on all day. Looking forward to continuing to post more videos!!
How many hours do you work? I'll be starting at ken garffen dodge soon
@@HeriB1994 I work about 40 hours per week, its definitely busy with school, but absolutely possible. Are you in the Mopar CAP program? I'm not, just wondering if you were as the hours are going to be limited then. Thanks for watching!
I'm a lube tech at a honda dealership and currently going to school for Mopar and Subaru cars
i start at dodge as a lube tech on Monday. 15 dollar flat rate, i will be looking into those scholarships you spoke about!
@@mattd1468 how’d it go bro? I start this Thursday fresh out of Mopar Cap, just nervous it’s a new environment for me starting off at the bottom of the chain with a shop full of experienced techs
I'm the same too. I need to know the end state and bigger picture to work towards something
Without knowing that, how would you know to keep striving for it? I totally get it man. Thank you for watching and subscribing! I really appreciate it!
Hi im thinking about getting on as a lube and tire tech i was just wondering is there ever time to sit down because my problem is i cant be on my feet all day
67 chevy impala ss 2 door hard top. All black.
Good choice man. Thank you for watching the video!
I work as lube tech at a dealership here in texas getting my apprenticeship done it fucking sucks 3 weeks they want speedy gonzalez doing it them
Crown Vic mainly 2006 and up
Now that youre 2 years in, what level are?
I just got a call to come to work for a Chrysler dealership as a Lube Tech I've been turning wrenches for 20 years I rebuilt the engine in my daily driver truck by myself and it runs really good basically I've been working out of my garage for the last 20 years and I not only work on cars but I work on motorcycles and mopeds to I've talked to a lot of mechanics out there car mechanics that says that I have a special ability to be able to work on a car then jump off that onto to moped and fix that but works been slow here lately because of covid and I'm really thinking about taking this job I want to work in dealership setting my buddy works there and got me the job he's now doing recalls I watched your video just to see what's involved I know how to change oil but I was told by my buddy I have to learn the shops way of doing things and I had some questions as to what else I would checking as I do oil changes do they have a computer that tells you the amount to put back in the engine because I know each engine is different in how much it takes
Hi Christopher! That's great, you should definitely go for it!! There is definitely a different way of doing things at every dealership, so I can't necessarily advise you on that dealership specifically, but just be willing to learn new things, and new ways of doing things. I know all Chrysler dealerships just switched over to digital vehicle inspections, which took some getting used to, but if you're comfortable using a tablet/laptop then you should be okay there. Generally from my experience, the repair order will have the amount of oil and which filter to put on each vehicle, but that isn't always the case. A good website to lookup oil specs is www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/. It's come in handy for me a bunch of times. Hopefully this was helpful and I hope you got the job! Thanks for watching.
$15 entry level lube tech pay. Toyota Dealership in FL
I just applied to be a lube tech an im going to be starting school soon to be a auto tech
This is awesome to hear! I love hearing about people joining in this awesome field! I wish you all the best of luck! Thank you for watching the video!
@@Ratedtfortechrobert Yw man
Applying to Honda dealership to be a lube tech, 0 experience and didn’t go to school for it..yet, any advice or recommendations?
howd it go for you?
How does one get into this job with no experience?
Shiver, no experience is really necessary! Just a willingness to learn and maybe some technical background (doesn't have to be professional) would be helpful. Thanks for watching!
Lie on your resume about going to tech school and apply literally everywhere.
@@lunalancer5971 I ain't a liar bro.
If you're looking to apply at a dealership tech they'll most likely start you off as a porter
@@loudregent60 Then what? They move you up to tech? They pay for schooling?
Takes one year to move up replacing mud flaps??? Ridiculous
Unfortunately it's the way of the world in this trade sometimes. I have actually since moved employers and am doing much more than I ever was before. Sometimes that's just what has to be done. Thank you for watching!
Lube tech is really a good job but €12 an hour make my heart broke 😢
I went to the Army at 21 because of 9/11. I got hurt in Iraq in 2003. Now I get 100% compensation every month the rest of my life.
are you the same since your injury?
Working a terrible job to pay the bills :(
Sounds about right. Gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for watching!! 👍
@@MattyIceBJJ not really I'd never done it before but got on RUclips and learned in 5 mins. Been changing mine ever since
