[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 294827, member: 17556"] I recently applied for a job that interested me mostly due to my extensive years and knowledge in the automotive repair field. This job involves going to various dealerships and repair shops to inspect leased vehicles as they are being returned from lease or are in the shop for a repair. It would be my job to speak with the technician about his diagnosis, check the vehicle myself, and determine if the repairs are needed, and if so, if they are being correctly diagnosed. Vehicles coming off lease would get a complete inspection for cosmetic and/or mechanical damage and overall cleanliness including photos (using my photo equipment). There are also other inspections for used car re-sales and even an occasional inspection for someone in another state looking to purchase a used vehicle from my area. These pay the most per inspection. The employer issues me some equipment, tire depth gauge, digital paint depth meter, handheld input device, wifi printer etc. I supply my own vehicle, computer (PC or Laptop), camera equipment and attire. I would also pay for fuel used out of what I am paid weekly. [B]So here is a brief of the job specs/terms:[/B] - Travel within a 50 mile radius of my home town with occasional travel outside that area. Anything over a 100 mile round trip is paid at .35 cents a mile for every mile over. - I pay $2.00 per inspection for equipment rental for using their inspection equipment that was issued. Maximum of $20.00 per week rental charge regardless of number of inspections. - I work from home and basically "telecommute". I am given jobs over the phone or email and do not report to an office. - I am told there are approximately 15 of the off-lease inspections a week. I am asking for more information about how many mechanical and damage inspections are typical per week and will have that info tomorrow I am told. - Off lease inspections pay $32.00 to $37.00 each. Physical damage inspections pay $40.00 each and mechanical inspections pay $50.00 each. eBay Motors and other consumer based inspections pay $50.00 to $55.00 each. The bulk of these inspections are off-lease and mechanical type. The number of inspections per week, of course, is what would dictate whether there is money in this or not. Please read their job outline letter below and advise me as to whether you recommend this or not. [/QUOTE]
