So, I work full-time as a mechanic for Public Works for the City and County of Denver, and part-time still for the trucking company I left to take this job. Working public sector has turned out to be a bit... iffy... and I don't know if it's for me, but I'm trying to give it a chance. My supervisor for the job where I ran the service truck is the one who pushed for me to come here after he got on with them, though we work at different campuses (and I may soon be going to Denver International Airport, which is its own separate entity). I happened to be in the 'hood one night for unrelated reasons, so I thought I'd swing the MHC on Sandown Rd. here in Denver, to see about getting some formal training and certification on diagnostic programs which I'm mostly familiar with, but was informally trained on (Insite, Davie 4, ESA, Acom, etc.). The guy at the night desk recognized me right away... MHC always has techs at the shop of the aforementioned trucking company I'm working part-time at, and he has worked with me directly before. In the course of our conversation, I mentioned how I'm on the fence about my current job, and he started to make a push for me to come over to MHC. So, my question... the pros, the cons, is it worth it in your opinion? I had been offered a Tech 2 job at Rush Peterbilt before, but turned that one down (something about the place just didn't leave me with a warm and fuzzy, but I don't get that feeling with MHC).
Im a driver, not a mechanic, but i always got a much better feeling about the competency of MHC mechanics over Rush mechanics. Rush always felt like bottom of the barrel and MHC seems to know their stuff much better.
I have been typing in to the internet what my truck is doing and a mechanic you tube video on how to fix my truck pops up.
