You can attach a clear piece of tubing to the bottom of a funnel and sneak it past the intake boot/air filter housing, if you can get your hand down there to unscrew the fill cap I'm sure service data tells you to take out the intake tubing anyway Btw when a service writer comes and says "is it done yet" tell them they're free to help.. if customers choose to wait, they can wait until you're done.

If you don’t have experience you could still apply I tried and it didn’t work for me so I went to school but when you apply go in person and check up on the application I didn’t do that No matter what route you take they all have pros and cons just choose which works best for you 😊

@KENDRO1K The heavy equipment is bigger but more fun to drive! Working for a company that has Heavy stuff like construction tends to have awsome benefits and the pay is more steady. In the heavy world, there is no such thing as flat rate. The downside is trouble shooting and diagnostics. electrical diagnostics tends to be harder because they don't have traditional electrical systems like cars have had. Alot of stuff is 24 to 48 volt instead of 12 volt. Once you get the hang of it though, it's not bad. there are more systems to trouble shoot and lots of different fuel types and hydraulics systems as well. The fuel systems I dealt with were gas, diesel, lpg/propane, electric full electric, and hybrid systems like dual fuel systems. That's where the real fun starts.

Always take wheel torquing and drain plugs seriously, don't let other techs gaslight you into making dumb mistakes. Wear safety glasses and nitrile gloves, ear plugs. Ignore what anyone else says about it. No one will help you unload a toolbox but you can bet they'll all offer to help you load it back up when you leave, if you catch my drift.
@@COBRO98 oh okay yea I need to get some ear plugs I don’t wear safety glasses due to that I did get bead lube in my eye one time it burned 😂 for a lil minute and yea I understand what your saying
Are you straight hourly or are you split or flat rate pay? How much does those dumbass cabin filters pay? If you’re flat rate how is the pay with ford?
@@Lucky_Logan I’m strictly hourly and cabins pay either .2 or .3 I know engine air filters pay .2 for sure
I noticed at about 3:43 and 12:30 you were bending over to pick up those tires. Try not to do that and lay them next to lift post so you can squat and pick them up. Just my advice so you don't mess up your back early on in your career. Other than that man keep up the good work.💪🏽💪🏽
seconding this. remember kid you're gonna need this meatbag for a minute so try and think long term
@@JMark514 bet appreciate the tip when I started working here somebody showed me this way it was better than how I was doing it at first I can say that but ima try squatting and picking them up cause my back do hurt sometimes especially if I’m replacing tires a lot
@@KENDRO1K it’ll feel weird at first squatting and picking them up but it’ll help especially with suvs and trucks.
You should talk to your boss or whoever about getting a BG trans fluid flush machine. Makes it stupid quick. Basically sucks the old fluid out while cycling in the new fluid at the same time
@@24GarrettFPS I’m going to look that up never heard of it I know some people use fluid extractors to speed up the process
@@KENDRO1K Yeah watch a vid on one theyre sweet haha
@@24GarrettFPS bet!
How do you even get jobs like this with no prior experience ? Every job in my area says they want at least 2 years previous mechanic experience .
@@christophersmith5996 go work at your local oil change shop or go to a trade school I was in the same boat I tried applying for apprenticeship programs never got a call back so I took the trade school route I’m going to make a video about this soon I also talked about it briefly at the end of my most recent video if you want to check it out
@@KENDRO1K Dope thanks for the advice.
@@christophersmith5996 no problem!
Keep up the good work i always pray before I start my shift and most importantly always be honest about everything and you will be successful 👍🏼
@@FORDTECH313 I’m glad you mentioned praying before your shift that just did something for me I read the Bible in the morning before going to school but I also need to pray more often
@@KENDRO1K same here I feel like I have to read the Bible more often
Hey man i'm doing the same job as you started about 4 months ago and i've been thinking about recording and making videos as well. Seeing this makes me want to do it more
@@24GarrettFPS that’s wasup you should start if you do I’ll tune in for sure I have a co worker that’s thinking about making videos as well and I tell him to just do it there’s no such thing as the perfect time also I’m not saying this is you but most people don’t record because of what other people think but if you’re being yourself what other people say or think doesn’t matter
@@KENDRO1K Nah that 100% is me. I know the other tech's wouldnt gaf, i just dont want the boss and advisors possibly being shitty with me. Worth a try though, I just cleaned out all my phone storage so i have room to actually make sum vids on it
@@24GarrettFPS well yea I understand that part about your boss me personally I record but I still keep in mind that I’m at work like if something will take me longer because I want to record but it needs to be done asap I’m not going to record it at some point I will have a insta 360 that way I can do pov content that way the more jobs I start to do I can show y’all while still being efficient
Salute 2 u bro I'm new subscriber 2 your channel I enjoy seeing young brotha"s doing great quality automotive work 2 customers cars keep it up bro✊🏿!!!!
@@draday7793 Appreciate the support!🤝🏾 and most definitely
entry level chevy tech here can say i enjoy watching ur videos and seeing how ford does it im also starting school in September cant wait to learn how to tear down motors and rebuild
@@vhanso6838 thats wasup I appreciate!what’s like at Chevy and what school are you are going you going to?
Shoutout to eli as well he’s the one that told me about the job !
I’m currently in high school and want to go the same route you’re going but instead I want to go to BMW. Just letting you know you’re a big inspiration to people on the same path. Thanks man.
@@requiem2101 that’s wasup if you know th me basics about bmw then your already in a good place and no problem appreciate the support!
Unfortunately BMW doesn’t have lube techs n they prefer kids with the tech school background or experience. I was in Lincoln Tech in the BMW fast track n still wasn’t able to get a job with them they want atleast a 3.5 GPA and 90+% attendance
But you can always start from another dealer or a shop like Midas or something and gain experience for the BMW job. Also u need to have an extremely clean driving record
Cool dude
Your work ethic will define you in this industry bro, keep it goin.
@@MILKMAATTERS most definitely!
How much you making as entry level? I’d like to go to a dealership and work my way up but 15-17 a hr seems to be the average in Florida from what I’ve seen. Just curious
@@adro4073 yea that’s normal I make 20 most people who are lube techs and make more than 20 most likely are flat rate and some people I got to school with they make around the same between 17-20 a hour
hey do yourself a sold and allways make sure you can take off the fill plug before you drain it good luck in the trade brother
@@iknowmore9454 appreciate the tip and the support!
As a shade tree mechanic who babies his cars, this is killing me watching how bad these cars are cared for. One had oil dripping all off the filter 😂 they knw they leavong a oil drips everywhere
Yea I always wipe off the drain plug and filter if it’s dirty and if it’s bad I’ll spray brake cleaner and wipe it down
Dont ever stop torqueing wheels, wherever you go.
Most definitely 👍
What does it take to get a job like that
I briefly explained it at the end of my next video coming out but 1. Go to trade school and work part time you’ll be in debt but it’ll be fast track for someone without prior experience 2. Go work at oil change place or Firestone work there for a while get experience then a apply to a dealership because most require prior experience 3. If you don’t have experience you could still apply I tried and it didn’t work for me so I went to school but when you apply go in person and check up on the application I didn’t do that No matter what route you take they all have pros and cons just choose which works best for you 😊
@@KENDRO1K much appreciated best of luck to you man
@@erik5645 no problem and appreciate it!
tools dont make a tech i got by a long time using harbor freight or craftsman tools but have came a long way if you barrow something 3 times its time for you to get your own it will take some time but always ask people never try and do something if you dont know how to you dont want that responsibility at a dealership just be careful and think about your safty seen acouple things that made me raise my eyebrows but you will learn from your mistakes and always go with tools that have lifetime warrentys tekton gearwrench harbor freight capri astro a lot of other good brands with great tools stay off them tool trucks
Yea if I can’t figure something out by looking it up on oasis I’ll ask better to be safe than sorry is what I think and as far as tools I haven’t been on the tool truck in 3 months I did get power tools 50% off at school on the snap on truck a while back and I did that to build credit history everything else I buy
So for installing the wheel I sit down like you did but I use my feet to lift the wheel up onto the studs that way it saves your back later on when you get older.
@@E85_STI appreciate the tip!
The Dealership will invest in your automotive career by furthering your education & certifications.
@@joeethereal2968 yea when I graduate they have great tool benefits as well
Stay hydrated & make healthy dietary choices.

@@KENDRO1K appreciate it brother I’m glad I found your channel. I have auto experience form years of working on my own cars and friends vehicles mostly my cars and this is a good insight on what the job involves if I wanted to get into it the industry . Great video keep them coming
@@aaronhudgins5810 no problem! glad the videos helping you and appreciate the support!
As a former technician always remember that everyone makes mistakes and don't feel bad about asking stupid questions. Don't get into debt with tools, Just because Other technicians Make fun of you Because of your cheap Tool set Doesn't mean that they are better than you. And the #1 tip of all Always be aware of your surroundings and what you are working on. People neglect and don't care about anything, including their vehicles. Believe me, you will see it all. Good luck brother.
@@Pinhead_larry265 bet and as far as tools I made payments for my impact and torque wrench to build credit history everything else I buy but at some point wouldn’t you have to make payments on something depending on how expensive it is or would you just wait until you can buy it
Get it young brother get it!!!
@@rashadthornton5222 most definitely!!🔥
As a mechanic of 30 years, I can say one thing. PROTECT yourself from the harms of this profession. Brake asbestos, fumes, chemicals on skin that leach into blood stream all of what can give you cancer. Most mechanics don't live past 60! Good Luck.
Appreciate it I try my best to keep chemicals off of my bare skin and I wear gloves most of the time
I was right here with you in the early 90s! If you love it and want to stay as a career get all the training you can. Take everything offered! You can never know too much! Good luck!
@@pdlegend6829 that’s the goal is to keep learning and appreciate the advice and support!
Hell yeah man! I have been a heavy mechanic for 15 years and now I'm working for my local chrysler dealer as a heavy tech. Keep goin strong and don't give up, learn all you can and when you can. Thank you for putting out a series showing the entry level stuff, that's not something you see everyday.
@@AKChryslertech Appreciate it! And that’s wasup I’m thinking about switching to heavy if I have an opportunity to if you did both what’s the difference to you as far as the working on bigger things
@KENDRO1K The heavy equipment is bigger but more fun to drive! Working for a company that has Heavy stuff like construction tends to have awsome benefits and the pay is more steady. In the heavy world, there is no such thing as flat rate. The downside is trouble shooting and diagnostics. electrical diagnostics tends to be harder because they don't have traditional electrical systems like cars have had. Alot of stuff is 24 to 48 volt instead of 12 volt. Once you get the hang of it though, it's not bad. there are more systems to trouble shoot and lots of different fuel types and hydraulics systems as well. The fuel systems I dealt with were gas, diesel, lpg/propane, electric full electric, and hybrid systems like dual fuel systems. That's where the real fun starts.
@@AKChryslertech oh okay that’s nice to know appreciate it!
Get your state inspection license you make more money. If your state do state inspection . But the bad thing about work there . You won’t make the money when it dead at the dealership.
@@zacharyman9159 yea where I’m from they still do them but where I’m at right now they don’t
such a bad location for a cabin filter. Asian cars are much easier.
