It's also sort of hard to get started as a tech. I'm 20, and I'm seriously thinking about going for it. But no shops are willing to hire me for more than $9 an hour, which is impossible to live on in Orange County, and I'm currently making more than that. Don't have nearly enough money to go to a big school like UTI. So I'm just taking a few courses at a community college.

I did walk through the service dept at MB Laguna Niguel yesterday. It's quite a sophisticated operation. Everything was SPOTLESS, and all the techs were working their asses off. Also got a tour of the parts warehouse, it's gigantic. 300,000 something parts in stock, quanities are constantly being updated, changed, etc. Trying to get a job in the parts dept.
