Anyone Hiring? Tyrefitter/aligner/manual Labour - Indoors.


Recommended Posts

As title.

Need an indoor job as my current job requires me to put sunscreen on every 30 minutes because I sweat it off.

I am a competent, but not qualified Tyre Fitter/Wheel aligner.
Have 1.5 years exp.
Also decent with mechanical.

Looking for full time mon-sat.
Was on 820 take home with bob jane.
Looking for between 620-820 8-5 mon-fri, 8-3/4 on sat.

Worked for Goodyear, Bobjane, and tyres and more.

Had a run in with a worker at bob jane, quit because I was assaulted and no action was taken.
Received a black eye a fractured rib and a cracked tooth from being hit with a tyre lever.

Tried calling Fair Trading, they said because the boss didn't have camera's installed and "No-one witnessed it" it was an un-just case and was dismissed.
And here was me thinking I was smart by not hitting back.
(The reason for this happening is because A: The guy did a shit repair job on a tyre, then I got blamed because I stamped out the job sheet when I drove the car out. B: I proved it was him and just before lunch the c*nt laid into me. Boss did nothing, no one did anything, didn't fight back because I didn't want to get my own ass in trouble.)

I am a good solid worker, and I actually enjoy working with tyres (go figure... dirty, greasy, grubby and when there's no work the hours are LONG.), as I said above - competent in the job.
I am eager to get my front end ticket and my cert 2 tyre fitting down pat, and do it for the next two years until I become a legal adult apprentice then do my adult apprenticeship, but I want money saved up first.
I have no problems with people unless they do wrong by me, or blame me for shit.


If no one has any tyre fitting work.

I will happily take a packing/warehouse etc. job, I have my white card and first aid cert.
Indoors work only pretty much.
I burn way too fast in the sun, and walking 20 KM a day on $20 an hour is a JOKE.

I can start immediately, happy to go on 3 months probation period.

Just need work now.
Got rent to pay and now I have a kid to feed (yeah.. not my kid, but my girlfriend has a kid, yadda yadda... yeah.. anyway...)


Thanks to anyone who can help me, I'll buy you a CASE of beer of your choice. (serious)


PM me or call on 0431045486.

I don't think he specialises in employment law, but he does specialise in workers rights.

Employment law = works rights... Tregtr is just trying to be helpful, atleast show a little appreciation for it :)

SkudR33 and some others know what area of law Tregtr practises - thus a friendly rebuke.

What you may not know is that Tregtr knows the ins and outs of what MTA Members' responsibilities are to you the employee.

He has been an RB and Rotary technician after first becoming a BMW Service Mngr.

I think he understands the conflict you've been in and thus, reads between the lines of the way you came across.

We'll keep our ears to the ground for appropriate jobs :)

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
