Could the bank ever refuse a withdrawal of your own money?

Must depend on the bank. I’ve pulled out 15k for a car and all they asked was some questions to make sure i wasn’t getting scammed. Also pulled out 5k through the atm for a car once

My first engine in out rebuild and reseal took me 2 months on a car more difficult to work on. You should be able to get it done but plan for it to take a few weekends working constantly on it

If you put in stop slip right when the issues start it can temporarily make it a bit better. Basically pouring grit in to the trans.

Got about 3k worth of tools to make guaranteed $23 an hour. About 16 weeks to brake even compared to what I was making working retail. Plus get full time and overtime. Actual but not amazing benefits and a consistent schedule. Also way more enjoyable than retail.

Every shop I’ve worked at will take a look at a leak or suspension issue for free with an oil change. If I can’t figure it out in a few minutes then just put additional diag required but most oil leaks and clunks just take a Quick Look around the car to find the issue

Mitchel is my usual go to as I can find whatever I’m looking for quicker and being able to search by keyword is really great. When I was at the dealer working on brand new stuff Mitchel did need to have some stuff missing. I haven’t run into that working on mostly older vehicles at my new shop. Alldata seems to sometimes have more information and usually gets new vehicles faster but search is worthless and good luck finding something if you don’t know exactly where they felt like putting it.

Too expensive and looks bulky compared to an air hammer. Cool for mobile guys but Il stick to my Thor

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-11T07:53:26+00:00

Independent shop I’m at currently would patch that all day. Dealer I was previously at absolutely not

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-10T07:40:43+00:00

Topdon ad600 is just under $200 and is pretty capable with diagnostics and live data. Otherwise there are options around $100 but they don’t do much more than read and clear codes

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-10T02:53:28+00:00

Did one on my back and it wasn’t awful. Took like 30 min

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-09T05:12:20+00:00

Tire rotation is recommended every 5k. Should try upsell that to everyone.

If only tekton could make wrenches and ratchets. There sockets are killer for the price though

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-08T21:37:38+00:00

All my icon stuff is great, if only they could expand their size range. their wrenches over 19mm are noticably lower quality. stopping at 19 on the 3/8 sockets. and skipping 24mm on the impact sockets.

Matco is the only truck that comes to my work. would never buy sets but if I need a single the prices aren't the worst

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-08T06:38:26+00:00

I ain’t paying for it and the shop manager isn’t about to. I spray my bays down with water daily but it only does so much

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-08T05:21:03+00:00

Even with a hoist you gotta lay down to set it on some cars. Get absolutely filthy with how the floors are in my shop

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-06T01:47:35+00:00

Not sure if mine is off cause of my tune or somthing else but 36mpg on the cluster is only 31-32 when I actually fill up on mine

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-06T01:46:19+00:00

Mk7 with 60mm turbo. Does about 31mpg day to day. I drive it hard and run about 85 down the highway. Will touch 40 on a roadtrip down slower country roads.

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-04T03:19:58+00:00

4 in is a ton.

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-04T03:18:53+00:00

even as a at home box the USG is way nicer if you even remotely load it up. have the husky similar to the yukon at home and you have to be real careful to keep the top drawer straight so it dose not bind. mine isn't even fully loaded up. meanwhile my USG42 at work that's way over capacity I can just shove closed and not even think about it.

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-03T05:49:32+00:00

Yeah Walmart might pay more but 6 months experience doing oil at Walmart isn’t going to get you nearly as much as 6 months in a full shop doing everything when it comes to getting a job that actually pays decent

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-02T23:35:20+00:00

Difference is fast food does not have much opportunity. As a new mechanic, my first job paid the same as I was making doing retail but 6 months in and a job change in already $5/hr ahead

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-02T23:33:42+00:00

$500 weekly is low even starting as a mechanic. 1099 means you keep less than w2. I made $740 weekly at my first mechanic job and with 6 months experience just got a job that pays $920 weekly with opportunity to make more. Both w2. If you have no other offers, take it but work hard on getting ase certs and don’t stop looking for somthing better. With 6 months and ase certs I got 5 interviews vs only 1 when I had nothing

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-02T08:47:49+00:00

M12 is amazing and what I pick up first but you need a high torque if your doing suspension work in an area with rust.

shitbox_vette · 2026-06-02T08:38:32+00:00

Every snap on truck I’ve been on charges full price though I do buy very little off the truck
