technician job experiences

I have did both. I will say the mom and pop was better for the most part. But all of them say they have or will get the proper special tools to do the job, but believe me , that never happens. U sometimes cam make do as the owners say, but it ends up costing more time on that job. That is where the dealerships have mom and pop beat as the have to have most of the special tools. I have almost $100 grand (Canadian) in tools and still don’t have all the tools to work on the newer stuff. Kim
