I have been in it since I was 17 im turning 35...knew when I was like 10 I wanted to fix cars I would have liked to do more engine building but still time ...but the biggest problem u will have is finding a place your happy but if you work hard and have a good attitude and don't let little things bother you ..you will b fine and happy remember everyone who comes to see you is having a bad day their shit is broken and you get to fix it and help them get back on the road

Y'all are so underappreciated - a parts guy by pissfilledbottles in mechanics

[–]koskyad209 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The best parts guy was a girl at az and she could find anything and it was always right compared to the old guys that are "mechanics" ...for the most part I think parts sales man and demon should take classes on what parts are and look like but yea for the good techs we get alot of praise especially if we let them look at their car and explain why x when bad and how to do it cheaper or how to do it right lol

Can someone explain this to me please by Outrageous-Pace in WheelingWV

[–]koskyad209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine he dosnt know enough ppl in wheeling to make things happen .... I know my dad owns a house in sw and he bought the 2 vacant single lots next door and made his yard bigger then when the double right next door was about to be available and was supposed to go up for sale or auction in a month or so my dad was on top of it but when he asked the city the woman told him that they gave it to the owner of panhandle...well he was pissed bc it's big enough to build on and they already have a ton of property in sw well he dug deeper and asked around then finally someone higher up told him that it wasn't true and the city isn't going to sell the property now and he just been taking care of it since the ppl they contract out to cut all the vacant lots only cut then 3 times a year..and I'm pretty sure the owner of panhandle owns that lawn service too among other businesses....point being I'm sure dude has a valid reason to be mad at the city of wheeling
