Bauer Built Inc.

My everyday day job was to repair and or replace, shackels, king pins, wheel seals, front axels, leaf springs, tie rods, exhaust leaks, u-joints, welding parts on trucks, rear bushing on trucks and trailers, torque arms on trails, tractor and trailer alignments, air leaks, electrical, starters, alternators, water pumps, A/C work( discharge, recharge, replacing bad parts, A/C lines). As well as picking up tractor trailers and backing them in and out of shop for myself and all other employees. After hour road tire road service as well. Before working for this company i had every little experience on (kings pins front axles leaf springs tie rods u-joints bushings torque arms) but they had me trained within two weeks and by my one month i became head mechanic. I worked with some of the best employees and upper management people we all got along and every did what they needed to do and had fun doing it safely and correctly. The hardest part of my job was the days i had to rebuild all new(front axle, leaf springs, shackles, king pins, brakes, and wheel seals) on two trucks and have them on the alignment rack before 5pm. The best part of my job was doing what i love to do everyday.

A typical day consisted of repetitive tire work on one side of the shop. You could 1 day be non stop changing tires, the next standing around dead. On the repair side you will do nothing but low level repairs and alignments, every single day. King pins, bushings and shocks if you crave anything further you wont find it. If your lucky you may find yourself on a service truck which is a break from the monotony of the shop. As a tire service tech you will be in the field nearly 100% of your time doing nothing but tire changes. Could be in a wet field, side of the highway or middle of a landfill. On the mechanical side it will be mudflaps, light bulbs and airbags with some minor problems in between ranging from air leaks to a broken valve. You have no diagnostic tool capability and will be called very infrequently less than 10% of your time will be in the field. The employees that have been there 10+ years are all very much company people and will run into the front office at every chance, but the younger guys all seem to be a pretty solid group of guys.

The occasional rude customer who thinks they know what they want when in reality they don't.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We have a great group of workers who get along well and there is not much work place drama.

Had an overall positive experience working for the company. Comoensation was competitive. Was promised advancement as I had experience in management but was overlooked for another candidate when the position I was working towards opened. We were understaffed at the time I left and being on call 24/7 and getting calls in the middle of the night got old. These things are what caused me to find a job in management which is what I was working towards.

Poor work environment, poor pay, management isn't very good, a few technicians do poor work on customers trucks and customers complain then go to another shop to get their trucks fixed right. They offer poor training, low pay even though the ad says $25/hr that's not true they will start you off at $18/hr and possibly a raise of .25 cents after 90 days. Shop manager will treat you badly and threaten a fire you. You will absolutely learn nothing here. Stay away from this company. 

i am a current employee with Bauer Built and love my job i have been in this industry for over 20 years and have worked for a few tire service companys. This is by far the best one i have ever worked at. Coworkers are awesome and work enviorment is busy but not chaotic. The skills needed to do this job are taught to you with a hands on approach. I would recommend employment to anyone.

30 year old equipment some of it out of safe operating status. A bathroom that is completely broken and often closed as the smell from the sewer lines is nauseating. Overly demanding and stressful mandatory overtime with no forewarning. Management is demanding and demeaning. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management seems to  actually care about the employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours of hard work the c hours can be overwhelming but youare well ciompensated

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back serious  but fun you work close  with your coworkers and get to know them
