So you have the have BMW's 'DIS' system plugged in before you can see the park distance control readings or what?

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Its mainly for diagnostic purposes. It work on the car, but instead of the car telling you numbers, its translated to the customer by beeps. The dis machine spits out distances in numbers so the tech can make sure they are working properly, so yes, for that part you need the dis machine

what do both of ya'll do at the dealer?

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

I am the 'all around dude' at the body shop, wash cars once they are done, detail them, paper work, phone stuff, computer stuff, deal with insurance companies, deal with customers, test drive cars... Do tires, minor work on the cars, diagnose the cars on the DIS machine and fix whatever needs to be done.



Bascialy, if they need something done, Ill do it. My range of duties is endless. I have a bunch of pictures from somel the wrecked cars I come across, I plan on posting them tot my site.



Ever have to push around an x5 without an engine in it?



Been working there for about three years now, I have prob driven over 3,500 BMWs by now. *grins*

[m3f_JB///M3]

Im in the parts department.... started off as a Valet though (washing cars, ect).... in parts, i work part-time about 6 hours everyday after school and i do anyhing and everything, but i mostly drive parts to different shops...and put the daily stock and customer parts away, clean up the warehouse, inventory parts, run parts to techs, organize warranty...on and on....been at my dealer since i was 17 in '01....so this summer, it will be 3 years

[m3f_Extrav.Dre_53c7fb859e]

That is awsome guys. I have been thinking about getting started at the local dealership. Any helpful insight? What sort of previous experience do they look for and if I have none what would be a good position to apply for. Who would I want to talk to, the manager of that department? Probably looking for something full time for this summer and part time when school starts back up.

for me...i got the job by knowing someone on the inside...good family friend worked there, and also...u gotta know when they are looking for someone too, cause...at my dealership we take SOOO many applications....it's nuts....just, my advice....is to talk to a manger of the service or parts dept and ask of ANY available positions and if they say they have none keep on them and get updates...the more eager you are to work, the more they are likely to hire you at a dealer....it took me 3 weeks of calling to get my job...

[m3f_Extrav.Dre_53c7fb859e]

Thanks,

do you know any of the position titles. I hate being asked, well what are you applying for and not knowing the answer. Or is it more just like a job in the ___ dept.?

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Job in the ____ dept works.
