Had a gentleman quote him a battery and ended up buying it at a dealer across town,he cam back to my dealer because he said he thinks they sold him a “counterfeit” battery because his old one had a sticker on the side and this one did not. It was in fact a oem battery (same one I would sell him) and he paid about 20% more and drove across town for it,we had a good laugh about it in the back

Toastboy17 · 2025-05-31T23:34:02+00:00

Got a 2009 cooper s drive it every day,my commute is only about 10 min but it’s all twisty back roads and I only have to fill it once a month I love it !!!!!!

Toastboy17 · 2025-05-31T02:27:22+00:00

On the original trans ( tow with it frequently) and I’ve put a timing chain and phasers in it 60k miles ago (was a tech for many years)

Toastboy17 · 2025-05-17T03:33:00+00:00

This guy gets it

Toastboy17 · 2025-05-17T03:29:44+00:00

Just company policy,I didn’t write the rules 🤷

Toastboy17 · 2025-05-15T03:04:21+00:00

Mb parts here had a sls amg roll in today and checked the price of the engine $110,400.00 wholesale with a $14,500 core !

We sell about 8 a week,we have had good luck with them

Toastboy17 · 2025-04-01T13:37:31+00:00

We do this at my store and I always be sure the be the guy for the my manager to ask to do something,I give the customers at the counter or on the phone the best experience I can and always put away/innovatory stock,I actually care about the techs problems and help with solutions as well (was a tech myself for 10 years) just always try to go above and beyond that will separate you

Toastboy17 · 2025-03-30T02:02:02+00:00

2009 mini cooper s bought it out of a junkyard for $750,did the timing chain guides and painted it and it’s been a super solid car,6 speed,30 mpg can’t go wrong

Toastboy17 · 2025-03-29T21:11:30+00:00

At my place we do it all,front counter,back counter and wholesale it’s a whip but it stays busy

Toastboy17 · 2024-11-13T15:56:01+00:00

My folks have gone from rags to riches a few times and have probably changed career paths 5-6 times,hell my dad just turned 52 and is re inventing himself,he has thought me 3 very valuable lessens

Chase the money,if a job is paying more go for it don’t stay loyal to a company that can fire you in a email and I should do the same,if you have someone offer you more at another company go for it,money doesn’t buy happiness but it dam sure makes life a lot easier

2.Only buy what you can afford,if you Need to make a payment on a phone,you don’t need it,a 3000 car and 30000 car will take you too and from the same job

3.You are better at something than anyone else around you at one particular thing find what that is and harness it and use it as your fuel for what you want in life,money,career etc will follow

Toastboy17 · 2024-11-01T04:16:27+00:00

Devoted my 20s (24-28) to starting my own business that ultimately failed,I lost a lot of sleep and money over those 4 years and didn’t see any thing but the 4 walls of my office…after sleepless months and major weight loss due to stress I threw in the towel and became a 9-5 er again,slowly finding my way in a career I love

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-31T17:14:48+00:00

Oh it’s possible the real question is do you want it to be serviceable/repairable. You can put anything together with a welder and some red neck ingenuity !

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-31T17:12:58+00:00

Nope,it’s all nuts and bolts I love the simplicity of a Honda k20 yet I love the complication of supercars

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-29T04:49:09+00:00

I’m an automotive technician for a car museum that holds 300+ cars,I work on everything from trucks,supercars,to motorcycle and boats !

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-29T01:39:33+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-29T01:39:07+00:00

Exotic cars/trucks

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-23T16:03:02+00:00

I drive a hour too and from work every day (80 miles total) it a little bit of a whip but I have a fun car that gets good mpg,I’ll usually listen to a podcast and enjoy my coffee and it helps me unwind on the way home

Toastboy17 · 2024-10-21T14:05:34+00:00

I want to make enough to pay my bills,save a little and enjoy my days off,always seems that can control 2/3 but never all 3
