He would start work at 7:00 am and write service until 6:00pm. From 6:00pm to 10:00 pm and often times later, James would work in an empty shop, on diesels that needed to be done.

He was compensated accordingly by the management for his extra effort. He even gained a loyal customer or two in the process since their service advisor was also their technician...

It took a toll on James and his home life. The long hours that would even include Saturday's left no time with family. Couple that with multiple management changes (8 in 4 years) and an overall instability in the workplace, James decided to move on again...

He found another job that paid by the hour. It was there, he finally got certified in automatic transmissions. But because his mail role was diesel and steering/ suspension, he only got to perform minor diagnostics and repairs on transmissions.

Valve bodies, front pumps, shift solenoids, etc... But even to this day, no major system component replacements or overhauls performed. He was not unwilling but the oportunity never came up.

He enjoyed this new shop for 4 years. The only bad thing about the place was the commute. It was 35 miles away but took 1.5 hours to get there and 1.75 to 2 hours to get home.

Sometimes, the 2 closest ways to get from his house to work had major accidents at the same time. James would have to call and tell them he doesn't know when he would be in. Over the 4 years, traffic got steadily worse. It would be the reason he had to say goodbye to that dealership...

His new dealership was the same distance away, with half or less of the commute time.

His main role was to head up the diesel department and train three apprentices while he was at it.

In a few months time he became a key member of the service department where he continues his leadership role. Only time will tell what's next for James. He only hopes continue his story with a long and fruitful career filled with success.

Since picking up a wrench at the Service department, James' mom has never had to pay to get her car fixed...

Looks like there is a hiccup in the file server, I've sent a message to PE to kick the rack and see if that jars anything loose.

It looks like our Tech Staff opened up the case and threatened to pour saltwater in to it if the server didn't start behaving.

We're back up.
