MTX J30 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 theres a new one opening near me and i was thinking about applying there. I dont know to much about cars but i really want to work there. What type of stuff do i need to know to work there? Does anyone work at a store like that?

tejcurrent Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 From experience buying parts there I don't think you need to know much. If you can drive a car you should be as qualified as anyone currently employed, maybe knowing how to use a computer to attempt to look parts up.

Mikesmith0890 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 yeah, im 19 and can walk in to most parts stores around me trying to find something and the people there not have a clue what im talking about. Oreillys seems to be the best of them all around here for being knowledgeable.. But your basic car knowledge and being a good worker (if that) is what most parts stores hire on..

Sick916 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) its not their job to be a mechanic if they where then they would be making alot more money at some other place, their job is to help you find parts or search for parts, Edited August 4, 2009 by Eric B Quote 1996 Camaro RS Rockford Fosgate BD1000.1 Rockford Fosgate 400a4 Old Skool 2x 12" TSW3001-D4 Pioneer Subs Pioneer deh-p980bt Yellow Top Primary Battery 1.5 Diesel Audio Cap<Its just there to impress the females with shiny things Kinetik HC800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00_XJ Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Honestly, as long as you can work a computer you should be good. You'll pick up on information as you work there. Most problems people come there for are relatively easy to figure out. Good luck man.

CodyB Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I don't work there but I can walk into any store and do everything on the computer other than handle money, The parts layouts behind the counter are pretty strait forward and I can pick my own parts off the shelf. My buddy works at one and from what he tells me you don't need any experience to do anything there. Someone said all you need to know is how to drive a car, some of the guys don't even know how to do that... Fun side note, My Advance has an O-Scope. They got an insane DMM that does a bunch of other stuff... Quote 88-98 GM Full Size Forum www.GMT400.com i put fuses on power wires, and condoms on fuses, to keep the fuses safe!

D-train-13k Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 yeah most of the people they hire are relatively low qualified. at least the one over near me they dont know much of anything about cars when it comes to anything past basic knowlege, (fuses, simple wiring, etc..) you can learn most of the stuff just by looking at a manual for your own car and applying that basic knowlege to other cars. using google or other search engines and type in anything you might not be sure of or problems you hear about while your there will help alot too. basically if you know how to use a computer and change your oil, and other fluids and have basic analytical skills you will be fine. good luck dude Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finkster Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 There is nothing really that would keep u from getting that job. i will say this though. I went into Home Depot last weekend with my grandfather who did construction for 40 years. and not one person had a clue what we were trying to find. they sent us around the store for 40 mins in circles. It really helps to know what you're doing lol. But in advanced auto everythings in the system so all u would need to know is use the computer or just actually find the stuff on the shelf lol.
