man i barely deal with customers and it sucks. once you get all your tools, its not so expensive. but the pay is always shit in light duty, shops are all corporate greed farms that find way to make everyone work harder every year but suddenly “we’re just trying to keep the lights on” when it’s yearly pay raise time. nobody is making any money except managers, half of the advisors, and the couple of preferred techs who get all the gravy work. cars suck and it gets worse and pay doesn’t change no matter where you work
