When he said someone "helped" at the gas station. I got the impression it was just a customer, not an employee.
I use a mechanic local to me just like Scotty doesn't rip you off I always pay him a bit more than he quotes just to say thanks- learnt his trade in Ford set himself up knows his stuff , would never use a main dealer – alan UK
I think the mustang has always been a unibody design
How reliable are manual 1999 Mitsubishi Mirages with 168,000 miles on it and what will break first on them?
I'm retired and have plenty of time on hands. I'm not mechanically incline, but I still have a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L that I bought new off the showroom floor. It has 287,000 miles and I'd like to keep it going over 300K. Do you think there are any mechanics that might like some work on the side for around $25.00 an hour? The idea would like be to hire someone who might be willing to teach me how to do brakes, ball joints, and other repairs. I have all the tools, and I'd like to bring back the Mountaineer to a reliable daily driver. Any ideas?
Rev up your Toyota Fork Lifts!
what? 18$/hour for a parts fitter (yes, fitter, as mechanics know how to diagnose stuff) is very low pay? lmao, no wonder you complain dealerships rip you off if they have to pay 18 quid for a fitter.
EG in the UK, to get 18 quid an hour in a car dealership you got to:
1. Be working in a very prestige (and complex technology) dealership (BMW/Merc/Ferrari etc)
2. Know everything and anything about the cars, aka Master Technician within the brand, most likely top 20 best technician in the country within the brand group.
3. Numerous years of experience and proven service history so the dealership recognises you as an asset (not a number) for the company so they agree to pay you that much money..
4. You will never earn 18/h in an indie garage working for some one else regardless..
Sure, working for yourself if the way to go once you reached that stage.. However.. its not that easy as people think, because:
1. You need to have steady customer base (day to day jobs in)
2. You need to have a garage to work at – rent to pay monthly.
3. You will need bills to pay (waste disposal, gas, electricity, environmental fees)
4. You will need to buy equipment, and lots of it simply due to the fact they keep changing and differ model to model, job to job (special tools, diag software, other technical software subscriptions etc)
5. if you still made some money, you will have to pay business TAX in the end.
Hey Scotty remember the days of 50% of the shop rate and 5% of the parts?
