Well, today was the first day at my co op placement at Oak-Land Ford. I arrived a bit early today because I didnt want to be late my first day. Once I arrived, my supervisor gave me a tour around the facility. He introduced me to different people around the shop. He told me to work with one of the mechanics named Richard. At the beginning of the day, it was very slow paced because there were not many cars. But as the day progressed, the pace picked up and more cars came in. Today I did not do anything extraordinary(which is expected on the first day), but I did do simple things like rotating tires and balancing tires. As expected, I watched the mechanics do alot of work, such as emissions testing and trouble shooting various problems. Overall, I think I am going to enjoy my placement at Oak-Land.
