Mentor Hours

My mentor hours are completed at Victory Honda located in San Bruno, formely known as Grace Honda

3/24/13
   On a Sunday, i completed my very first hours of mentoring. I logged in 2 hours, and i learned some new things. From 10-11 a.m. I worked/watced a tutorial cd on hybrid cars that just went over some basics. Then for the next hour, I followed my mentor around while he was trying to sell cars to learn some questions customers have on buying "green" cars.

   I logged in 2 hours on a Wednesday at 4pm after school, and I learned that hybrids can travel 40-70 miles per gallon which is a lot compared to an ordinary vehicle. I was a shadow assistant for my mentor for pretty much the whole time, but it was a chill experience too see how a car salesman works. They can do a lot of persuading and hybrid cars seem to be more easier to compliment about.

   Sunday at 2pm I completed 3 hours. For an hour and a half I greeted customers, asked if they have interest in hybrids cars, etc. then for the rest of the time I window shined the cars and then I learned some tips on the maintenance of hybrid cars.

   After school on a Thursday, I logged in 2 more hours. This time I was given more videos on hybrid cars to watch. I also did so more cleaning on cars. From the video I learned that there are thrre types of "green cars" hybrid, hybrid plug-in, and electric.

   Today I logged in 2 hours at the start of 4pm. I cleaned the cars and my mentor showed me some facts on hybrids. I learned that hybrids produce 90% less pollutants than comparable non-hybrid cars. My mentor showed me that there is slight steady increase in the purchasing of hybids meaning they are starting to expand more.
