Nope, I'm sure it'll be a few days. Background check, credit check, etc. probably takes a little time.


Wish I could afford these

Those are pretty nice Devin.

I bet the dealership will have their local Matco/MAC rep and he will allow you to finance a box and tools. May cost a bit more but the quality will be exceptional.

Sears may have an apprentice program too for financing tools. Cant hurt to check.

I would pay BIG bucks to watch the real thing...........

Remember the TV Commerical: He is watching TV (Sports)... She walks in behind him and asks, "Do these pants make me look fat?"....He glances over his shoulder and says, "Ya Bet Cha".........

Yeah, Matco, MAC, and SnapOn are a bit too pricey for me right now. I had thought about seeing if Sears has a financing program. Would be a good way to build credit.

Also need a new torque wrench and impact wrench. IR has a plant in Mom's home town so I lean a bit towards them.

Considering these two
Ingersoll Rand Impact Wrench — 1/2in., Model# 231G | Air Impact Wrenches| Northern Tool + Equipment
Ingersoll Rand Air Impact Wrench — 1/2in. Drive, Model# 231C | Air Impact Wrenches| Northern Tool + Equipment

Something you should ask Devin is if a basic starter set of tools will be included during your training phase. That will give you time to save up for a set of tools. That or you could try to finance or get a small bank loan for tools. $2500 loan should be a very small payment and be enough to get you started.

Yeah, I am planning to ask about the whole tool situation. I'm assuming I won't need any SAE tools since the dealerships are both imports. Either way, I have a nice chunk of money in savings already, but a small loan isn't a bad idea.

Howdy, Shaun.


Called the service manager at Toyota to make sure he got the driving record. Said he did, faxed it off, and should be able to call me back tomorrow to move things along


EDIT: And I just noticed that I hit 5,000 posts without noticing!
