Our shop is not air conditioned, however we do tend to have a good breeze most of the time. We supplement that with fans in the summer and diesel heaters in the winter.
We are currently a tad short handed so we have 6 current technicians and 2 service advisors. We typically operate with 8-10 technicians and 2 advisors.
The service advisor's day starts at 7:30am and ends at 6pm. Technicians are here from 8am - 6pm Monday - Friday. Our advisors and technicians rotate on our Saturday schedule and we are open 8am - 1pm. Sundays we are closed
We have many Chrysler special tools available for the techs to use. On top of that we have 6 computers, a snap on alignment machine, and multiple other tools and machines to help them take care of our customer's vehicles.
We do not currently have a dedicated break room area, but it is one of the things on my list.

If we do not currently have the needed parts in stock then the majority of them are available the next day from our Dallas warehouse. We also have the ability to reach out to other dealers that have the correct parts to help expedite the process if needed.
There is no side work allowed on the property.
We are a very team oriented shop, and we help each other out as much as possible. The atmosphere is laid back and every so often we will order breakfast or lunch for the whole crew to show them appreciation for all their effort.
We are always encouraging our employees to continue their training through Chrysler and we do pay for that training.
Our lube techs have the ability to become line techs and could become our next senior tech. It all depends on their work ethic, drive, and passion to make this job into a career. I want all my employees to be successful and to become master techs.
Periodic reviews are done at the service manager's discretion.
Upon hire we have online safety training that must be completed. Every year or so their will be continued education courses to update any content.
Here at Port Lavaca Dodge we all work together if needed to take care of the customers. That includes the Service Manager going into the shop and working along side the technicians.
We periodically help sponsor local events.

The sky is the limit. I believe in 5 years we will be the dealership that customers will pass 3 other dealerships to bring their car to just so we can work on them. We treat them with respect and try to do our very best for each and every one of them.
We want each and every employee to feel valued and to be proud to work for Port Lavaca Dodge. Anyone looking to make a career in this field is welcome to apply. We will do our best to help accommodate those dreams and make them a reality.
We do have actual applications, and they typically take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
I do not typically phone screen applicants before in person interviews..
I like to spend a few minutes getting to know the applicant, asking about them and their history about what brought them to apply at Port Lavaca Dodge. Then I try to tell them what we are looking for in a new hire and the kind of culture we are trying to create. I will then review the application with them and go through any other follow up questions that I or the applicant might have.
We do have a 3rd party company that completes our back ground checks and then refers the applicants on where to go to have drug test taken.
Not typically, for experienced technicians I do look at there training levels in Chrysler.
An answer will normally happen within a few days after the interview.
Usually this process takes about 1 week.
I am always looking for self motivated, honest, and hard working employees. Those traits are ultimately what help me to choose between candidates.

Service Advisors are a integral part of out team. They are the face of the dealership most of the time with the customers. Their ability to clearly communicate customers concern to the technicians and then communicate the vehicle needs back to the customer is paramount. Advisors duties include greeting and talking to customers, writing up and managing service repair orders, updating the customers during the repair, closing out the paperwork and then following up with the customers afterwards to verify everything went properly.
