"How Do You Earn a Living" sticky

Does that merger have you concerned at all?

Buy here, pay here, don’t pay here, repo here, repeat. :slight_smile:

I wonder how many times some of these places sell the same car.

executive airshare ?

Long term, maybe. But not in the immediate future. The plant here is still super profitable, so I doubt that it will ever close…However, I’m thinking some of our benefits will take a hit (9% 401k match being the big one).

My father retires from there next April, he’s been with the company for 21 years now, guess that things have changed a lot from when he started and the union is worried what the merger means for the plant.

Thinking of opening your own buisness again?

Absolutely not.

i have talked to a couple dealers that have sold a $5,000 car multiple times and made $20,000+ profit

they actually prefer a car isnt paid. they typically get made whole on the down payment and every payment recieved is profit. if you do this with the car multiple times its big $$$

Left NOCO in February and joined Westmatic Corp as an Eastern Region Territory/Key Account Manager - I cover East Coast of US, everything east of Louisiana, as well as Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Barbados, etc.

Westmatic is a Swedish based company that manufactures large vehicle (bus, truck, train) wash systems for the world, but make everything for North America right here in Buffalo.

Now that’s one hell of a truck wash!

They don’t joke around.

We’ve got some notable accounts like Walt Disney World, Bombardier, Anheuser Busch, NYC Transit Authority, etc. I work with the architects and engineers these customers hire and you would be surprised how in depth people get about washing trucks and buses.

That is sweet dude. Do you know if your company gives tours?

School Field Trip :smiley:

Muther F’er!!! Where were you when I had to personally detail these two beasts?

Wish I would have known just how much the “face” of the rim was covered by the hub caps before polishing. But, I wanted it to GLEAM for the guy who bought these two from me so I was a bit more anal than I normally am.

I do walk throughs in the plant for customers/potential customers that fly in, but no general tours.

Thats alot of cleaning. Looks good though.

Detailed dump trucks. What do you charge for bulldozers?

Thanks! Guy who bought them from me is a legit good guy and I want him to tell all his friends about the service he got. Stinks that it’s going to get dirty.

My finger tips are still aching from all the polishing, I’m ALL good on doing a Komatsu.

i walk through westmatics bay all the time … i have my super secret shop down the hall … stop by sometime

Down the hall from where DRS used to be?
