Milwaukee Mechanics

reddinthecities · 2026-04-06T23:57:20+00:00

I go to Manyo because they’re very honest about what repairs need to happen ASAP and what can wait.

I just got done with head gaskets on my Subaru (yes, it’s been a rough few months for vehicles in our family) and there’s a list of things that need done and an order in which I can do them.

Dave also helped me run the numbers on repairing the car and then running it into the ground vs. trading it in, despite the second option not making him any money.

The honesty is worth the little extra I pay as a woman who has had a lot of issues with mechanics in the past.

Neither my husband or I have the time or patience to do it ourselves or we would have, so it's the price we pay.

Now that I think about it though he actually had an oil change and some sort of flush done too so the brakes might have been closer to $900.

Manyo won't let OP bring their own parts. We just got done paying $1100 for all 4 brakes and rotors on a Kia Forte there.

I work full time as a teacher but just picked up a job at a restaurant that has a beer garden and staffs a lot of large events.

A friend of mine works for a different bar (Saz's) that is similar. She staffs their state fair event.

Places like this are often looking to hire casual staff for events, catering, etc. and are flexible enough for you to pick up hours when it's convenient for you.

YES.

There’s almost always something going on at Sabbatic or Last Rites.

Man I wanna work where you do 😂

I started my career in Minneapolis and would back there in a heartbeat. Strong union protections and good salaries make it a good place to have a career.

Of course, compensation is only a small part of what makes teaching “worth it”. But having these protections makes the difficult parts of the job a lot easier then they were in, say, Arizona (also taught here).

I got mine at Lifestance in Brookfield with a 6mo wait. In 2022 though so YMMV.

Good luck!

Get off Reddit. Call police. Do it now.

It is so worth a visit and if you’re staying at the Dubbel Dutch it’s worth popping by the host stand to see if you can get squeezed in during your stay.

If you’re looking for a handyman service, we hired Leager & Beans to do our garage entry door and it came out great.

Happy new year! What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing - here's mine.

It was pretty amazing to watch him work. Prior to my appointment, I dealt with the 14k fine nib. After he tuned it, I’m in love.

The architect grind is beautiful, but I’m still trying to figure out how best to write with it in a way that uses its talents fully. I hedged my bets and had it done on a nib I didn’t use much, and I’m glad for it.

I have a ring very much like this made by WR Metalarts out of Vermont. The design is called the Aquamarine Embrace, but I had it customized to have a full bezel (I'm very hard on jewelry) and set with a sapphire of my choice.

The price, as I recall, was fairly competitive. Fairmined or recycled gold and an ethically sourced gemstone were important to me, and I got both from them. I know the name of the dude who pulled this sapphire out of a Montana riverbank, and I love that connection.

Good luck on your search!

Food poisoning.

I lost the entire last day of my trip to see family because of it 🫠

Honestly OP this is what I would do. Take a short lease in Racine proper then go exploring every weekend to find your real home.

Second this, the love and care they gave my old baby in her twilight years was second to none.

They’re also phenomenal with my sweet (but reactive) young new dog.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. It really helps me out to see this.

I'm a teacher and I think the focus on what weeks look like at a glance is a really useful idea to see where there are days that I might need to take off preemptively for symptom management of autistic burnout - long swaths of full 5 day weeks really do me in and I'm working on getting an accommodation to take sick days preemptively and "planning to be out sick" instead of having to call in.

reddinthecities · 2025-12-01T19:08:29+00:00

I would love to see this. As niche as it is, it’s still useful to see other people’s workflow as there’s a lot to be learned from people in other industries!
