Ive been with this company since college, almost 20 years. Ive been everything from service adviser when we had one quit, to service manger at our GM shop before GM axed small dealerships. Well ive been Shop foreman/commission lead tech for 12. My side gig, restoring cars, building toys, and side shop also. My shoulders, and back are to say the least shot!!

I went in and spoke with the owner about transitioning to Service Manager in 1.5-2 years. He smiled, and didnt seem upset.

Could I get some feed back from Service managers, If any dodge, chrysler, jeep managers on here as to what i could expect pay wise, and what I need to do to prepare myself for anything underlying that I may over look?

I just turned 40, and I enjoy my cars, and LOVE what I do, but I have to look out for my family. If i go down needing shoulder surgery, Ill be down for 6 weeks minimum. MAJOR pay cut!

Any info would be great, if you would PM me with numbers that would be more professional on both ends I think..

Thanks in advance guys
