“I have too look at it like if it was mine” man this was deep ima start seeing it this way.

[shareyourcareer]

I'm glad you mentioned people skills. Many people think being a mechanic means working with cars all day, but there is a lot of time working with your teammates and customers too!

[Airjew]

This was probably the best break down of what it'd really be like to land a job in this field. Thanks for that info Khan/Teon!

[bamasklife]

best thing I ever done being an automotive technician

[abdihassan]

I wish if I can fix my own car all the time at this time it's very hard to find honest mechanic every one want milk you out bad

[MelodicalJazzyphile]

[cornyl]

Thanks Teon!! Man, this is good work. I work to get young people connected to trade industry and they need to see brothers like you.

[Maaraujo]

Doing a paper on this career, Thanks for the video man!

Love what this man had to say. His back story and mine were similar. I am debating on going to college for mechanics. For my own personal interest.

from my experience, diagnostic is the hard part. suspension work is mostly gravy. something doesnt sound right.

I want to buy a scan tool that tells me whats wrong too! Been doin it the hard way all these years.

[Falconsgang]

They need to show 6th graders stuff like this

[Atomic]

I got an offer to begin working at Volvo and I would be trained to be a mechanic. Is this a good decision to make?

[riversideautomotive]

Where can I buy one of these diagnostic tools that I can plug in and it tells me what is wrong with the car?

I need one, or a bunch, so I can give one to all my techs. We have over 20 different scan tools, not one tells us what is wrong with the vehicle.

What course would you recommend for an *automotive mechanic aspirant to study in college?*

[dionp]

What's some good aspect's to master in as a mechanic. Such as a engine repair, welding, tune up etc ?

[michaelanderson]

This talks like a person who just started in the field he talks about mechanic auto body and towing these are 3 different jobs if he would just focus on 1 like a auto tech or auto body and stay at a job doing 1 job he would make what he is working both jobs

[jonomotive]

I’m sorry but connecting a scan tool does not tell you what the issue is and how to fix it, it simply guides you where to check, removing and replacing parts is the easy part, all it is is nuts and bolts any grease monkey can do it

[TheCm]

He sounds like a rookie. Kept talking about tires most of the interview.
