Yes. There is no longer a reason to take your Subaru to Nissan. Cory is at the new KS shop. I think their first paying customer drops off a car today.

I apologize. I think Bob is still there and he has done a bunch of tire mounting and such for me in the past. Wonder if this is an opportunity for him to move up at Nissan? Hope so.

Well, I was being jocular, but if you have any prior experience yes, they have at least one tech opening.

They recently moved Kenny off the lube rack, and hired some kid fresh out of uti. I'm still there doing light line.

You imply they'll still need a tech after all of Cory's customers start going to KSpeed.

They're not quite officially open yet. It's the shop started by Matt (Knucklesplitter here on the board). Cory (mpreziv) is working there, so don't waste your time bringing your cars to Nissan unless you need some repair work dne by Bob Danger.

I'm sure Matt will post up a "grand opening" type thread once the doors are officially open.

That grand opening is what I have been waiting for, I heard they were opening at the last autox so I was expecting to see something here on the board. Someone had mentioned their first paying customer so I thought maybe I was just out of the loop....well I am out of the loop but was still interested in getting some work done.

sorry AWD, we'll try to get this thread back on track, I derailed it.
I don't know of any shops hiring at the moment, unless you have body shop skills/tools.
