Watch in 480, I apologize kind of hard to see

I used to work for GM (General Motors) as a mechanic/diesel tech then left due to personal reasons. Decided to be a mechanic again but for another shop Lithia Kia, things didn't go accordingly to what I was told so I had a talk with the big boss and well.... he didn't like what I had to say... and that explains why my toolbox is in the garage, sucks but what can you do..

I have came to notice that where I live, Anchorage, Alaska most of the shops are the same on the mechanics side where politics and favoritism is heavy. Based off a couple mechanics I have spoken to and word of mouth.

To have a gist of knowledge of what I'm talking about visit www. angrymechanics . com

I did not create that site but that site seems to sum up the shops view on a mechanics side.

So if you know me and want work done on your vehicle let me know, I'll quote you much cheaper then the shops do

  • @gigglyable thank you for comment.

  • @1693caterpillar I appreciate your comment.

  • @1693caterpillar mechanic is a hard life man, most people view us as screw offs. Goodluck to you and thank you for your comment

  • @backwoodsctryboy I honestly don't remember, Got it back in 08

  • @TDHReviews thank you!

  • @capufool yeah. If I were you I'd get the master set they offer. Then build on that once you figure out what you want to specialize in; under car specialist/drivetain/heavy line etc etc.

  • Liked The BOX man Im a mechanic in juneau Ak and i know what you mean about boss choosing his fav people my brother lives in anchorage ill let him know about you

  • nice set up, good vid!

  • Good for you! Its always tough being self employed and i feel you got the smarts to do it!

  • @AdoboKingTV Yea a mechanics life is hard on the brain and body. Your still young yet so your still flexable and can still learn. My advice is put a car in your drive way up on blocks pull your tools out and start working on it people will come to you asking if you could repair their cars also. Sounds like you have a dream about your own shop and thats a good thing. Do your job honestly and do the absolute best workmanship you can for your customer and you will do all right.

  • I did the same thing and told my boss to shove it up his ass. Now i am at home out of the garage. Theres always somebody knocking at the door looking for work to be done on there automobiles. Good luck guy.
