I am not a mechainc or anything, but working in the warehouse full of turbo ----, installing rice out intake and exhaust and all makes me getting SICK and TIRED of even think about those stuff after work. yes i am sick of seeing intercooler and turbos lol

and like Briohatch said, i am pretty sure it happened to everyone as well, that is ppl around u EXPECTING their ---- being fixed for free. >:( And say if you charge them dirt cheap for, say a brake job. they will start telling their mom, father, friends, aunt, uncles that i am doing it for dirt cheap and everyone expect me to charge them that cheap. I am sick and tired of this ----, even girls wanted me to fix their BOYFRIENDS car, WTF< it`s your ------- BOYFRIEND. WHY THE ---- am i suppose to change his ----------ing oil for free bitch >:(

Re: PAID MECHANICS
 

with newer cars all you have to know is how to use tools. the scantools tell you the problem, do a few simple tests to confirm, and then it just R&R.


when i worked at the VW dealer techs would even have to tell me what prts they wanted i'd just look at the scantool printout and know off the top of my head what it was

Re: PAID MECHANICS
 

haha if only it was that easy, working at a dealership with new cars might be but try one with 300,000+ km's and see how that would work for you. When you get a truck in the door with 50 problems but the cheap ---- only wants the one fixed thats doing a certian something that he doesn't like but doesn't want to spend much cash because its his beater. I had a dodge 4x4 the other day that was just bought and was running rich, somebody took a connector apart in the harness and rewired the pins wrong which eventually made its way to the 4 wire 02 sensor. Scan tools are a great tool but I wouldn't say the new mechanics have it easy.

I suck at business and organisation.

When I get everything down to ordering the semi-finished boards from the manufacturer, you'll handle my retail sales for a cut, yes?
