We don’t have ASE in Canada but this helped me a bunch regardless.
Had a nice surprise waiting for me on the center console of a Jeep Grand Cherokee at work yesterday. Customer brought in the car complaining of noise when braking. Go to the Jeep, open the door, and the wheel lock is sitting right there. Did a fist pump, felt like a boss.

If you go into this trade knowing that it’s not like working on your own car on the weekend with some friends and beers then you’re already a huge step ahead of a lot of the younger guys wanting to do this. I’m a technician and I love every minute that i’m in that shop. I’m payed starting wage and I could not be happier right now. I actually enjoy it more than working on the weekend on my own car. I have all of my tools, fluids, lift, etc. right there at my disposal. I like telling people i’m an auto tech cause to me it’s still a reputable trade. Sure there are a few pricks who try to ruin it for us, but we have a knowledge that most people do not have. Only downside is once people know i’m a technician they keep calling me and asking me to work on their car haha. But aside from that, I liked working on cars before when I was a backyard diy, but now I love it.

When doing tune ups, maintenance service on Dodge Grand Caravans. To check the spare tire pressure you have to unwind a bolt from inside the van which takes 5 minutes cause it’s so damn slow, then you have to get the tire out from under the van, and wind it back up. God forbid Dodge puts the spare tire in the trunk. That’d just be insane and unreasonable!
Hoarders cars…. enough said.

I think it’s the fact that our hands are getting used to being used 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. It eventually goes away after we get used to it (for me at least).

If my health was better and my fiance wasn’t extremely against it, i’d give boxing a shot if automotive didn’t work out. Other than that, i’ve always like the idea of opening my own pub, but in all honesty, i can’t see myself doing anything other than working on cars.

If you have to borrow it more than twice, you need to buy it. Luckily I’ve only had to borrow a couple of tools from the tech next beside me. Been on the look out for a good price on thin-walled impact sockets… difficult to come around.
