What do I need to do before i can become a tire installer?

I like working on cars and tire installer seems like a good first step. I have been working for a year and turned 18 last month. Do i need any certifications or training before applying to discount tire or tire barn?|||WHY would you want to start there??? go to a big shop and start by doing oil changes etc. there you will learn things.|||Other than the tire manufacturer themselves handing out certificates saying you are qualified there isn't any certification or training to become a tire installer. Some manufacturers of the tire equipment provide training on using their machine but that is about it. Just like any mechanical job you have to pay attention and be careful because you can get seriously hurt mounting, dismounting, balancing and or installing tires.|||Give the owner a bloh-job. Only tuff men work in garages.





No, you don't need experience in most cases. Just look in the newspaper or online websites for job openings. Lots of them for tire installer will say, "No Experience Necessary." Try Craigslist and other places for jobs. Good luck.|||Thats not a bad place to start. It is fairly easy and we used to teach our techs how to change oil and work them up to more difficult tasks. Listen to more experienced techs. they will try to coach you along. Be careful if you do tires for big rigs, they can kill you. They must be done in a cage. Good luck.|||learn all the techniqes of installing|||try yahoo web search|||These people... You start by sweeping the floor, if you are told to do it and its legal you do it. Scrub the toilets you say? Sure you are getting paid hourly. Is that fair? You want to work on cars not clean the shop, well keeping a clean shop is part of a mechanics job, and when you are not cleaning someone is going to be showing you some thing, so rather than spending thousands of dollars on an education you are getting paid to learn. Isn't that great? Tire changing takes little effort to learn. Hope they don't stick you on low profile tires and don't break a Tire pressure monitoring sensor, they are not cheap...
