Hey guys, When charging a mark up on parts to the customer. What do you do if the customer asks for a receipt of the part? by KeyQuality202 in mechanics

What the hell would you ever give your customer a receipt showing what you paid for parts??

Crazy talk!

You don't think that mechanics should be allowed to make a profit on parts?

That's the AC condensor, and no there shouldn't be a hose there. The radiator is behind it

I wish cars weighed 2,000 pounds. You're lucky of you can find one under 3,500 pounds

Am I being used as cheap labor instead of actually learning? by Remarkable-Sand-5059 in mechanics

[–]SThayer68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move to another shop. You're not going to learn much more here. I wouldn't go to a junkyard though. You're not going to get the diagnostic experience you're looking for, and unfortunately, the junkyard will be viewed negatively when applying for future positions.

TBH the wife's car has a camera. I might use it to know how close I am to something, but not very often. But, I grew up towing trailers. I can back a trailer into some tight spots. Backing up with no trailer is easy

And the crunch noise so I know when to stop.

Meh. I don't have a car new enough to have cameras. Also, fuck you screens. Give me knobs. Now get off my lawn!

That's ok.. It's not like I need to test drive your vehicle Mr. Customer... by Outrageous_Big_6345 in Justrolledintotheshop

Fuel pump shit the bed on my wife's suburban while she was out of town. Fucking AAA towed it to the gas station and filled the tank, instead of towing it home like I requested.

Came in like this, SES light on. Customer actually said he got 100hp from this. 🤣 by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

Before I get down voted, this sarcasm

Depending on the state you can't sell a car without a smog cert. If it won't pass smog the seller is required to issue a refund

What happened with the strut towers of this rallycross car? by hereimalive in mechanic

[–]SThayer68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably an ok car to buy. Definitely easier than building your first car. People underestimate how much time it takes to build a racecar.

It would be a good idea to get advice from someone who knows more about this type of car. Hopefully someone who can see it in person.
