What I Would Tell Myself 25 Years Ago

I recently realized that I’ve been doing auto repair professionally for a little over 25 years. It’s been a great career so far, but looking back, I might have done things differently. I thought I’d take a movement to reflect on that and the time I’ve spent in the auto repair industry. Perhaps it can offer some insight for you if you’re considering a career in auto repair, or custom car work. I hope you find it helpful.

If you’ve been in the industry for some time, what advice would you offer yourself when you started out?
