Buy the best you can afford but actually work out your budget, if you can spare 50 a week for tools, withdraw 50 a week from the atm and spend it or save it for next week. Financing stuff is for business only imo, not individuals. In every aspect of life. Only borrow when it's gonna earn you money, work truck, big equipment, mortgage on a shop etc. Like anything you try and tell a young person though, they'll have to learn it the hard way, on their own like everyone before them did

I recommend doing something entirely different but if you do decide to go an automotive field I totally agree with the people on the tool truck scenario. You can get tools for 10th of the cost and they're made by the exact same company they just don't have snap-on stamped onto them. my local car repair parts store has the exact same hacksaw hanging up on their wall that I paid snap on $80 for! They're selling it for 12. I remember when I got a big bonus check at Fremont Ford in the 90s I went and bought my dad 110 volt electric impact for his RV. A week later I saw the exact same impact at Sears for $179. I paid $650 because it said snap-on on it. It was the exact same tool!

My first day hired after graduating school, the senior mechanic told me to change jobs because the money isn't here at dealerships anymore. He then also told me that if I do decide to stay, buy the biggest box you can comfortably afford and stay away from the tool truck. So here I am with a 72in toolbox with a 72in top box and not in the automotive industry anymore 😂

If you need to borrow a tool then you need to buy said tool .😊

The best piece of advice that I could give confidently is to admit when you’re wrong and to ask a lot of questions but ones that you’d be able to apply tot eh real world

RUN !!!!!! 😂

I've been a tech for Ford for 11 months now, and what these guys say is very true. Starting out as a new tech is like a whole new world. You're very lost at first, always listen to the senior techs because they know what they're talking about, it blows my mind on how much they know but it's all from many years of experience.

This actually applies to every mechanic, seasoned or new to the game. Learn from the criticism, you should never stop learning. The dumbest people I've ever worked with thought they knew everything.

The big hair and then no hair is amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👊👊

I’ve been around cars and mechanics my entire life and the number one thing that will help you become the best you can be is to always keep a beginners mindset always keep learning.

“We have Eric Andre at home”

#1; do your own thing!!!!!! You'll be 60 and broken with only a bank account to show for it. Any good mechanic has the ability to start and run their own independent shop.

Ask as many questions as possible

2 things I would say . 1 protect your health use PPE don’t destroy your body. 2 take advantage of company paying you for ASE’s testing get all your ASE’s and find that good pay in master shop that has the man hours.

Service info is the mvp of all tools 👍

Guy looks like he touched a electric fence😅

My advice for people looking to become a tech-don’t do it. The pay can actually be pretty good (I make a decent six figure salary) but you get zero respect (just look at the comments from The Sunflow Channel on this post as a PRIME example), MOST (not all) shops treat you like complete garbage, it’s tough on your body and your pay will most likely fluctuate pretty wildly paycheck to paycheck and year to year. Just don’t do it. My nephew and my son were talking about wanting to work on cars for a living and I highly discouraged them. Thankfully they listened.

My advice to anyone coming in would be don’t get intimated when you see big jobs, never give up, and prolly the most important….. be very patient.

That dudes hair rules

I remember the first day I stepped foot in the workshop. When you work in a large dealer environment, you will have multiple personalities. Had a few that tried to get me to fail by giving bad advice, they didn't last long at that dealer. 20 years later, just left the workshop environment. Some people can be dicks. These guys definitely have words of wisdom. We all have to learn this. Every day is a learning experience, always try to make a job easier for the next guy. Your still a team at the end of the day all working towards the same goal.

I’ve been in the field for 18 years, I still take advice, I take it from the old gents who’ve been here longer than I’ve been alive, I take it from the young guys who have only been in a few years but have had diff experiences than I.

Very good advice. If you let your ego/pride get in the way you’ll never master your craft. My grandfather builds houses and has been doing so for 40 years. He still says that he learns new ways to do things. You should never think you’re too good to learn something new.

I remember when I first started doing brake jobs. I was maybe 20 years old. I had turned the rotors but failed to clean all of the metal grindings from the hub area. The customer came in to check out my progress and saw the metal grindings I had failed to cleaned. He looked at me and said. “ it looks like some okie is doing this job.” Eye opening… Attention to detail from start to finish is everything.

Run!

RUN! as fast as you can! Working on cars can be great money but most shops are terrible and good luck getting someone to help you.. Why would I help you take money out of my pocket?? That's what i was told. The cost of tools isn't worth the hassel of moving them all over the state. Stay away from the trucks and don't let old guys tell you that youre not a pro unless you have snap on or some other over priced crap you don't need. A real pro does the job and gets it done with whatever they have.

Real advice: Ask them every commission time and pay before you start working (ask for it in writing,) stay away from the snap on truck, make sure the person who orders your parts if it isn’t you actually knows what the fuck they’re doing, and make sure to ask questions if you get stuck on something. Also don’t become a state inspector.

The weekend on the weekend 😂

Ask the techs what tools should you get and their preferred brands. Don’t always have to go all out on a tool but sometimes it’s a necessary expense. Don’t be scared to ask questions and if you can’t figure something out just say so. Don’t let pride or ignorance get in the way of you being great

My advice would be to remember that the paperwork side of the job is only there to serve the physical. Writers and managers will act like your boss but its only a superficial act, push them and they cave cus theyre really just your secretary.

If youve got nothing to do clean something or restock/refill something if you still training with someone

My advice from 4 years of doing this if you get sick of cars its not over ansd you haven't wasted time or money there's many other things to work on heavy machinery agriculture and so on i did cars for 3 and a half years and went to ag i got tired of the customer base and thier cars.

Watch the people you work with. The ones that are fast know something about what they’re doing that will help you make a better living 👌🏼

Yo the weeknd became a mechanic? Dope.

Shit is tough

Need a part 2

Take note of the tools guys are using everyday in the shop and buy those from the tool truck. Those are the tools that you NEED day in and day out so make sure the tool truck guy stocks those and you don’t have to wait for shipping.

Those clips aren’t just for mechanics. They are firstly for everyone entering the workforce after receiving training at a school prior. Secondly they are for everyone else as well. Always be prepared to take criticism and learn from others!
