It was a nice job
Service Truck Driver (Former Employee), Wichita, Ks. – May 13, 2013
It is a fast paced environment, constantly moveing semi's in and out ofthe garage, going on service calls. The management are great people. I didnt get along to well with my co-workers, mainly because I wasnt there long enough to really get to know any of them. The Hardest part of the job was the manual labor that was required to dismount and mount – more... the tires. I didnt find awhole lot about the job enjoyable. – less

Good filler job
Shop Assistant (Former Employee), Kirkland, WA – March 24, 2013
Pros: good team work, management tried to stay out of shop operations
Cons: hard work, not the greatest pay
It was an okay place to work, not a lot of support or real camaraderie, but that is to be expected of a tire/repair shop.

Helped me realize that mechanics is a unappreciated job.

Productive work place.
Sales and service Representative (Former Employee), Placerville, CA – February 27, 2013
Pros: working on cars helping people
Cons: not always getting lunches and breaks.
A typical day at work is fast paced, helping customers and working on vehicles. I learned how to work with software like alldata, tire machines and working with customers. I have learned so many things to think of from big o tires. The time when i worked with them the management was a joy to work with. The co-workers for the most part was a good crew – more... to work with. The hardest part of the job is the lifting of the tires and difficult customers at times. The thing i love the most is helping customers meeting new people and working on cars. – less

Alignment Technician (Current Employee), Placerville, CA – February 9, 2013
Pros: low stress, i get to work with my hands, close to my home.
Cons: pay.
In the four years that I've been working for this store, I've held a greater appreciation for smaller businesses and the impact they have on the community. I see all my customers in the stores I shop at and they always take the time to tell me what a wonderful experience they have had with me and my store. It is run by people who care about their staff – more... and about the community who work hard for what their customers. My coworkers are all hard driven and it's fun working with them. I also take pride in my work, however small it may be. All in all it has been a very positive experience for me. – less

Fast-Paced and Busy
Tire Specialist (Former Employee), Fairfield, CA – November 13, 2012
Pros: always busy. good team work.
Cons: low pay for intensive labor.
I would have to work in blazing hot temperatures and freezing low weather conditions. The labor was intensive and required a lot of preparation and focus in order to complete tasks. I was in charge of dismounting, installing, and cleaning customers' tires on their vehicles. I often had to distribute tires from various wearhouse locations within the – more... Bay Area. – less

excellent place to work for entry level automotive technicians
Tire and Lube Technician (Former Employee), Steamboat Springs, CO – August 31, 2012
Pros: great pay, good benefits, long breaks
A typical day at work consists of customer review, auto inspections, tire installation or repair, tire sales, receiving, brake and/or suspension work. I learned the basics of automotive care here, and was also trained in tire sales. Management was terrific, the training was superb, and my co-workers were some of the hardest working people i have ever – more... met in my life. The production we attained was far beyond expectations. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with customer volume due to such a great reputation as the leader in the tire industry locally. Most enjoyable were the customers that regularly returned to the shop for maintanance or a tire rotation- I had many chances to meet a variety of interesting people. – less
