Well I can see you finally see what I have seen for years. The auto repair business is totally DEAD
Both of my sons I made sure they went to collage They Booth became accountants
They both bring in well over 6 figures And all they have to bring each day is there lunch and a pencil
They sit in a warm office in the winter and a cool office in the summer I made sure that they DID NOT
follow my lead Every Day I talk some one out of the idea OF going to school to become a mechanic
Only when dealerships cant get good mechanics maybe just maybe they will can this flat rate shit
And if by chance you want to stay in the field go to work as a fleet mechanic with NO flat rate you will be much more happier That want I did years ago AND NEVER regretted it ITS the only way to go today look at FedX
They have a large fleet

IMy Grand cherokee came new with goodyears .They only lasted 10,000 miles The problem with my coppers is I bought them online and I cant find the bill. so forget the warranty
Yesterday I took brake fluid and wiped down the side walls and then took ATF and wiped them down This Morning I cant find the cracks THEY were very small before.Talked to a few guys down the shop and they seem to think its what the city of philadelphia is doing> Every winter for the last five years when They say its going to snow the city goes NUTS putting down BRIME Witch is nothing BUT liquid SALT This past summer I had to replace ALL of my brake lines on ALL of my cars because the lines were badly rusted > down at my friends shop that ALL he did all summer long Every car that came in his shop had to have the brake lines replaced. In all my years as a mechanic I have NEVER seen so many cars with rusted out brake lines WE replaced them with ones that are powered coated I think this liquid salt is F”’ing every thing up including the tires
what I am going to do for now in the winter is once a month wipe down the tires side walls with a little brake and tranny fluid and see what happensMy Grand cherokee came new with goodyears .They only lasted 10,000 miles The problem with my coppers is I bought them online and I cant find the bill. so forget the warranty

when I ran the fleet dept At DHL we changed them out at 65,000 miles Some hose seem fine BUT with a truck running 12 hours a day 6 days a week we did NOT want to take any chances And yes I seen hoses last well over 100,000 miles BUT for something that is cheap you really don’t want to break down 2 AM
