I have worked in the front of the dealership doing sales for years and i would rather be in the garage. You can make money if you are good/fast and smart... smart as in making friends with the service writer/manager because they control the work flow. I work for a busy Toyota Dealer and our service area is always busy and most of the techs get OT doing PDI's at night. If you plan on doing this then like said above you need to get trained in Toyota or BMW etc because Domestics are not selling well and the bulk of your money will come from maintenance etc and Toyota/BMW buyers don't change their own oil. I planned on doing this 3 years ago and even signed up at UTI but had my car accident and could not stand up for long periods of time, i am healed up now and ready to go. I am not doing this for money but rather i am wanting to do something i find fun instead of just work. If in 5-10 years you get bored or too old you can always become a service writer. Oh and have you thought about moving to a different part of the country to stay in your current field?</blockquote>
