Don't buy the Snap-On tool box!!! Get a cheap one and spend your money on tools!
Learn electrical really well!
Learn how to diagnose and not throw parts at cars!
Wear that damn ear protection and knee pads!
I'm 40 now and started at 15! My hands, shoulders, and knees hurt every morning!
Don't be too proud to ask for help!
And it takes at least 10 years in this profession before you actually start making some money!
Don't do it.
😂 DO NOT BECOME A TECH RN nobody paying correctly
As someone who's been in the business for 30 plus years and owned his own shop for 16 my advice would be turn around and walk away new cars suck it was a whole different ball game 15 years ago and now the engineers and manufacturers they don't have you in mind they build it to whatever is financially feasible for them and you get screwed on the back end.
My uncle once told me listen to him shut up and you take the info and do what you want from what he says. He's a journey man tile guy he's bad ass at it and I learned allot I had GCs pull me aside and tell me how much of a good guy and hard worker I am and I thank my uncle for that.
Old timers have a lot of knowledge to give. Listen.
Stay away from the tool truck for the love of all things holy
Oh my yes take advice, we have a new guy that whenever he does something wrong he just says ok and doesn’t ask what he did wrong lol
Yep, been through that stage when I knew more than my teachers and didn't need their advice. I've been young enough to know everything 😅😅😅
Ask as many questions as possible
