How's the pay for an Acura mechanic? I'll graduate w/ a biology major this summer and i need to find a job. But i hate biology and i want to work on cars... Do i need any certification, experience, etc? I do normal maintenance stuff (oil changes, tire rotations, etc) and can learn some more... TIA

 

Heh.. you're in luck. I just went into acura to apply for a lot porter. I inquired about being a mechanic and they said that you need to be certified by acura.. im guessing that means you gotta take their training school.

 

whas a "lot porter?" how rigorous is the training? does it cost anything to go to training?

 

lot porter is a technical term for moving cars around I have no idea on pay or training.

 

a lot porter is someone who does "odd jobs" around the dealership. Like parking customers cars, giving customers a ride to and from their workplace, delivering new cars to customers, etc. I know, b/c that's what I do at a BMW dealership...

 

I think a lot porter is like a lot attendant. They clean and move the cars around on the lot and no, I don't think there's any rigorous training involved.

 

So is a lot porter just another for a gopher? J/K

 

Or dealership bitch.

 

haha

 

I REALLY wanted to say that but I wanted to be nice

 

garage ***** came to mind. what ever floats your boat. i need a part time job for parts... sounds interesting but i don't think it pays enough to waste my time with it

 

Hmm...that can be a good job. Dealership *****... I'll go ask during the summer.

 

heheh me too

 

I think that the porter is a good job for every honda junky to have once...but only once. You really are thier bitch...it sucks. But driving all the cars...detailing my own car...that was nice.

 

If you got the money, then this will be a real GOOD experience

I was thinking of applying here, but decided to get some basic training done first
They use S2000, ITR, etc etc etc as a training car. its even funny cause they go to the point of saying the b18c is a piece of **** cheap engine to work with.

 

i would like to know what acura pays thier mechanics.. like 2 years ago infinity started at $12/hr, ford 11.56/hr with 2yrs experience, 4 ase's, tools
