Auto Repair Careers

I actually would be very hard pressed to ever recommend this type of work for a career to any young person but if you so feel the need and desire to do so then 100% DO NOT GET INTO GENERAL ACROSS THE BOARD AUTO REPAIR if you ever want to make any kind of serious money and specialization is the only way to seperate yourself from the crowd and be able to command good money.

I told my son in law this very thing and I echoed the list of complaints seen here as his future. Being a mechanic myself, some car, some heavy industry. So, I told him to become a boss. Not to loose touch with the wrenches or the technology being introduced. As he should always be ready to take over or show the way to his coworkers, but be a boss and be for the men under him. Joke around and have fun, never belittle!

And so he did this. His guys follow him. If he left the shop and started his own shop, he would take all the mechanics with him in a second flat. They all speak very highly of him.
