March 29th

Today unfortunately was not nearly as busty as yesterday, but there was still work to be done, as when I first arrived i helped out by cleaning up the shop and picking up air hoses. However as the day progressed it got a little bit busier when I then did an oil change, tire rotation, changed a set of tires, and balanced tires. I also fixed an alienator. Overall the day went well

March 28th

Today in Co-op it was surprisingly another busy day as I worked on many cars. I began the day with doing an oil change on a customer’s vehicle. After that I then serviced the brakes on two vehicles, and rotated the tires. Once I completed this I then switched winter tires for summer tires, once I finished that I then had to balance the same tires and put them back on the car.

March 27th

Today was similar to yesterday however not quite as busy. At the beginning of the day for about the first 30 minutes I watched a mechanic change a head gasket on a mini van. Once the mechanics started getting back from there lunch they had me doing more work, as i did and oil change, assisted in changing a muffler and changed a couple of light bulbs as well as rotate tires. Once again to finish of the day I watched a mechanic perform an emissions test however this time he showed me how to work the machine and what every thing means. So overall today i learned a lot.

March 26th

The week started off good for me at Oakville Chevrolet as there was a lot of work for me to do. I started off with doing an oil change and then once I completed that I changed a fuel filter, and then a mechanic showed me how to service a vehicle, which just required cleaning the brakes, and the rotors, and oiling the hinges. After that I assisted in changing a pair of brake pistons. To finish the day I watched a mechanic do an emissions test on a vehicle. Overall today was a great day.

March 1st 2007

The first day of March started extremely slow. There was only one car that just needed an oil change for the entire day, after that there were only a couple cars that needed to be washed. The reason why there were not any cars today was probably because of the snow storm that is occurring today. Since there weren’t any cars that needed work I just helped clean up the shop. Once I had cleaned up the shop my supervisor sent me home around 2:15, because there wasn’t any thing for me to do and he didn’t want me driving home in the storm. So Overall today was very slow, but hopefully tomorrow it will be busier because there weren’t any customers today.
