I work in the Service Department at a Ford dealer and I understand your situation. We had a few guys in your position who weren't paid the best, however they worked right under our Senior Masters which is the best **free** education you could ever receive!

I am 100% compliant that $8/hr is not enough, especially for that amount of time you've invested, however, if in a year from now you're certified and looking for a job, you are golden in any dealer's eyes. We had a 20 year old tech working with the "big guys" because he trained with the Sr. Master for 2 years and on STARS (Ford certification), while our quick lube guy was 24 because he just learned from backyard garage folks.

Getting into a dealer on the ground floor is a great way to learn and become very valuable to any dealer. Just speaking from experience.
