dont let me burst your bubble but the answer is, No. nobody around here hires unless youre over 18 and ase or icar certified,. and if they do hire you without the certs yuo prolly dont want to be there. you gotta wait till you graduate and get certified. ---

17 + no degree or experience = need help landing a job in this business (try finding someone that wants to take on an understudy) the pep boys job sounds like a good bet too if your not a slacker. ---

its tough being under 17 dude. By NYS law you can’t do pretty much anything. When I was that age and worked in a restaurant, you couldn’t touch a knife. When i worked in the grocery stores, you couldn’t even throw cardboard into the baler, let alone press the button to crush it. I’m telling you, if your well groomed and social get a job at a busy restaurant as a waiter. You’ll make way more money, and there are a ton of bitches everywhere. Make sure you do a job where you receive tips, if you just work hourly you’ll get dick for pay. ---

No offense, but you’re obviously not qualified to work in a shop. [http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22100](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22100) ---

ur best bet is to wait til ur 18 cause u cant operate most equipment until then…then start off at a place like PepBoys or Midas or Monroe and get a lil experience with the basic stuff they do…I started at Midas they were cool about “Training” then get a few years experience then move on if u want…FYI…working at a crappy shop sucks…you make like doing stuff on your own car but if u go somewhere like midas and then want to move on get to a dealer as kwik as possible
