Auto Repair Careers

It's one thing to be in the aftermarket as a mechanic or body man. It'a another altogether to be in a dealership. Dealers have gotten so bad, there's no way in hell I'd ever recommend anyone become a dealer mechanic.

Now it's gotten to the point that even on customer pay jobs, the manufacturer gets involved via computer. Basically the mechanic caint think for himself anymore and has to jump through hoops set up by someone who probably has less than half his experience. It was beginning when I left the last dealership job I had. When it started getting to the point warranty reps started telling us how to fix cars, was really the beginning of the end. Too many cooks in the kitchen and half of um don't know their *** from a hole in the ground.
