I suffer from the same thing that you do, I sometimes do have a hard time fitting in with other people. However, I have learned to get through working with people I don’t necessarily see eye to eye with through a common ground. Most people can find something they have in common or something they can agree on. Use that to pry the social door open, and once you guys communicate, you might realize that you may end up getting along. It doesn’t always work that way. But I was to a point where I was going to quit my job and move somewhere else because I couldn’t get along with our foreman. However, things worked out in the end and me and him are fine together.
I don’t work for a national chain, I work for a small independent shop. My boss has always been pretty understanding. Usually, if you make a mistake from time to time he will look past it, but some of the more reckless guys that seem to damage parts more often usually do lose a portion of the parts cost out of their pay. I don’t think it is very fair to make technicians 100% liable for things like that. We didn’t make the cars rusty or old. Naturally, plastic gets brittle, and parts seize together. Its just the way things are.

PB blaster has always been my go-to and that is what we use at work. However, my boss just bought a case of WD-40 Rust Release penetrating oil. I don’t know if this is a newer product, but I haven’t seen it until recently. I must say, the WD-40 stuff is very surprising and I feel it works better than PB.
