Getting rid of a car is not easy. Selling a car, scrapping a car, donating a car, giving it away are all tough. Last week I donated my 2005 VW Passat to Second Chances Garage. They do amazing work top to bottom. The icing on the cake it the mentorship of automotive tech students. While I am sad to say good bye to the Passat, I couldn't be happier on where she is going, and the impact the new owner will make. #humblemechanic #GEARWRENCHGivesBack

I am joined by Mark from CRP Automotive, and we talk engine coolant and antifreeze. What is the proper coolant, how to mix coolant, and what happens when you use the wrong coolant. Since this video was out, VW has had a LOT of issues with coolant. So much that they have moved away from coolant concentrate at the dealers. Now they really only sell premix. That is actually a good thing for customers that buy coolant there. It's NOT a good thing for the shop. You basically have double the waste in plastic containers and cardboard. Well maybe not double since you need to have the appropriate mixing water. But you are basically getting half the coolant for the same price.

Today you are joining me in the 2015 Tiguan for a short term review. There is a lot I like about the Tiguan. There is also a lot I want to like about the Tiguan, but just can't seem to. To me, the Tiguan is 10% away from being an awesome car. After the initial audio from the Tiguan review, I chime back in with more info that has come out since this Tiguan video. There are a few issues that have become more problematic than before. Mostly centered around the engine, CCTA engine code, and sunroof.

Today we go back July 2015 and talk about the state of the shop at the time. This is back when I was full time at the dealer, most likely as the shop Forman. On the state of the shop shows, I run down some of the more important things we had going on. We were in full swing of Routan recall for WIN module, water pump recalls on GTIs and a whole bunch more.

I have been a Volkswagen master tech for several years now. Reaching that level of certification was a goal of mine from the start of my career. I was extremely excited when I achieved that goal, but today it is just a normal part of life. In fact I don't give it much thought anymore. Other than when someone tries to throw it back in my face. That is a topic for another time.
Well VW has finally got a program to give master techs a little perk. That is the chance to work with Volkswagen Motorsports and Andretti Autosports for a day. VW has been in the Global Rally Cross (GRC) for 2 seasons. With a team so new, they need help from time to time. When a race rolls in to town they invite local 2 local VW master techs to come out and work with the team for a day. What a cool idea. And thank you VW for doing something extra for your techs.

Today I am back in the Passat with another automotive podcast. I get asked about carbon buildup on direct injection engines all the time. Generally they are asking about the newer VW engines the TSI. That would be engine codes CCTA and CBFA. These direct injection engines are developing issues with carbon on the back of the intake valves. This is not just a VW problem. This is an issue with most direct injection engines.

Today we are going in depth on the warranty extension for common rail high pressure fuel pumps HPFP. This is a new extension that will cover certain Volkswagen TDI engines including: * 2009-2012 Volkswagen Golf * 2009-2012 Volkswagen Jetta * 2009-2012 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen * 2009-2012 Volkswagen Touareg * 2012 Volkswagen Passat
To find out if your VW is covered under this warranty extension, call your local dealer and give them your V.I.N. they can look that up for you. Failure of these pumps has been happening since about 2011. One of the bad things about HPFP failures is the cost of repair. The entire fuel system is replaced when metal from the pump is pushed into the fuel system.

Does buying expensive mechanic tools make you a great mechanic? It's a tool debate I see all the time. While better tools might help make the job easier, they probably don't make you a better mechanic. To me it's more about having the right tool for the job, and the tool that works best for YOU. That means more than the name on it, or how much the mechanic tool costs. #humblemechanic

Ford and Volkswagen announced a partnership at the 2019 NAIAS in Detroit. Volkswagen and Ford will be teaming up with a global partnership to build medium duty trucks, and commercial vans. What does this really mean for us in the USA? Will we get a VW truck in the US market? The truth is, I don't know, and no one reporting on this knows either. Both VW and Ford have been VERY cryptic about what they are actually going to be building for this partnership

KISS or Keep It Simple, Stupid is something we all talk about, yet we skip steps in the diagnostic process. This leads to things like missing a blown fuse, missing a loose connection, costing time, money and loading up the parts cannon to fix a car. Take a step back and remember the basics of automotive diagnosis and repair. Things like missing a blown fuse, can make for a nightmare when trying to find a problem.

Vehicle security and hacking is a very real thing. The ability to hack into a car and cause disruption is much bigger of an issue than I ever gave credit to. Hackers can access a vehicle and cause more than just the brakes to activate. What if they could bring down an entire fleet of emergency response vehicles? Here is ETCG video on the Weaponizing a Vehicle.

REAL mechanics don't wear gloves? Call me a fake auto mechanic. I think mechanics should consider wearing gloves for a number of reasons. Not just to keep their hands clean. Mechanics can deal with some nasty chemicals. Also people are SUPER gross in their car. I support the wearing of the RIGHT #mechanic gloves for the job!

Today we look at an interesting topic. It is something that really hit me about a week ago, while talking to a student at N.T.I. We as mentors and leader in a shop have a far bigger roll in "bringing up" the next generation of good technicians than we think, or maybe want. Overall I don't think we do as good of a job for our new mechanics as we should. Understanding that this generation coming into the shop is DIFFERENT THAN YOU! And guys that is okay. They don't have to be you to be good. They see things differently. That can be a huge advantage if we capitalize on it.
Join me today as we dive into: * What I said to that NTI kid * What type of tech I want to work next to * What the roll of a leader in the shop is * "It's not my job" * Kids behaving poorly * and more

If a shop or a mechanic gets in an accident with your car, who should pay for the damages? If the shop working on your car totals it, do you have to pay for it? This comes after a story about a shop wrecking an Audi S4, and telling the owner he has to pay for the damage after the shop wrecked his car. This to me is CRAZY! I am not even upset by the accident. That stuff happens all the time. Thankfully no one was hurt. But the shop saying the owner of the car should pay the damages is... Well you will have to listen or watch to find out. ;)

Today I am joined in studio by Rusty. We had a very spirited chat about being a mechanic vs being a technician. We come at it from 2 very different angles, and that makes the conversation fun. There is a little weirdness in the first part of the show. I had a camera issue that day and it impacted the video quality. The second part of the show's video is back to normal.
Join Rusty and I today as we break down: * Rusty's view of what a mechanic is * Rusty's view of what a technician is * The psychology behind the words. * My view of the two words * QOTD ~ Do you consider yourself a Mechanic or a Technician? * and more

Comebacks are something every mechanic will deal with at some point. Many times it is not the mechanic's fault, but plenty of times it is. Either way, it's more about how we handle the situation that makes all the difference. We had the attitude at my old dealership "Be the HERO". This mindset to the customer can be hard at first, but does make for a win win situation.

What is the best modification you can make to your car? Finding the best car mod is actually very easy. Its not an ECM tune. It's not a performance exhaust, lowering springs, brake upgrades or window tint. The best performance modification for a vehicle is the DRIVER MOD! Learning to be a better driver is far and away the best thing you can do for your car. This holds true even if you are not a car enthusiast. The better driver you become, the safer you will ultimately be.

The mobile mechanic business is one that fascinates me. One of the big issues people have with maintaining a car is time to take it in the shop. This is where mobile mechanics can win big. But how do you market that business? Remember marketing is telling the story. If we approach our marketing strategy like that, it makes the task of marketing much easier.

Hey everyone. Today we are going to look at 5 things a technician can do to stand out to a customer. These are ways to stand out in a positive way. How to bring a little extra valve to what you do. The end goal is to earn a customer for life. With these little tweaks, you and set yourself on a great path to a huge customer base. You don't have to follow all of these tips. Heck you don't have to follow any of them. But these are a few of the things I used over the years to set myself apart from other techs. This will help you stand out to customers, and to me that is the most important thing. But if you have promotions on your mind, and in your goals list, use this to stand out to management too.

Want to start a repair shop? Moving from being a technician to a shop owner? What do you need to know before starting your own shop? Today Bogi from All Girls Garage joins me with 5 tips to starting your own automotive repair shop. This is something many of us technicians consider at some point in our career. I have personally seen a good amount of techs go out and start a shop. Many actually do really well. But there are always lessons that are learned the hard way. I prefer to learn from someone else's mistakes. They are less painful.

Today we are going to talk about some ways that we might find "our guy" in the automotive world. Before we get rolling I have to say I use the word "guy" to mean both men and women. I often say things like "How are you guys doing" regardless of the gender of people that I am talking to. Okay, now let's talk about finding your "guy".

Hey everyone. Today on the automotive podcast, we are talking about something that I am sure will ruffle a few feathers. That is flat rate. For those of you not familiar with how flat rate works, you can watch a podcast I did called "Getting Paid on Flat Rate" or read a blog post I wrote called "Pros and Cons of Flat Rate". Wow, remember when I wrote blog posts? Now I highly recommend you watch the entire show before blasting me in the comments section. I understand that many have a very negative view of that system.

Today we are looking a little deeper at the mind and process of a diagnostic technician. Right now I am in the process of training two new technicians, with a third starting soon.

That is something I also wanted to share with you guys. It is something that a lot of automotive techs really struggle with. It is not an easy thing to build.

I got a really great question last week. One that I thought I would get a true expert’s insight on. That is “Where are the women in the Automotive Industry?”. I think this is a great question with multiple layers to evaluate. I am sure in today’s show we are just scratching the surface. There is only so much insight I can have into this question. So I reached out to someone that is at the top in this area. Her name is Audra Fordin from Women Auto Know. She is truly a champion of the industry, and does so much good for women specifically. She was wonderful enough to give us her take on that question Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

When it comes to maintaining a car, the owners manual is a great guide. But should you just follow it? When should you change your oil? When should you replace spark plugs, what about fluid like coolant with no replacement interval? There is a lot of things missing from the owners book, and some maintenances are not cut and dry. This was a battle that we fought at the dealership all the time. When the manufacture doesn't recommend a replacement time or mileage it puts the dealer in a weird spot. You can't recommend things because people assume you are trying to rip them off. You also can't NOT recommend them because it's the best thing for the car. Sticky situation indeed.

Today we are going back with another "State Of The Shop" episode of the automotive podcast. These are the show that I recap the last month or so in the shop. I was out of the shop for almost 2 weeks last month, but that doesn't mean the action stopped. This time we are going back in time to April of 2015. There was a great recall at the time, Diesel Gate was months away, and I think I had just started as the Shop Forman. Some good times and some broken cars.

Should You Do Side Work as a Mechanic? Side work can be a great way to earn some extra money. There are a lot of mechanics that will do side work for cash, but is it worth it? Can you get fired for side work? What happens if a side work job goes wrong? I didn't do much side work as a dealer tech, often the risks were not worth the reward.

In the US many automotive technicians get paid on a system called flat rate. This system pays a tech based on the job, not the time it takes that technician to complete. If a job pays 3 hours, a tech gets paid 3 hours. If it takes that tech 2 hours, they win. If it takes them 4 hours, they lose. The techniques we are going to talk about today helped me do a lot more winning of flat rate than losing. But always remember the number one rule, DON'T SCREW YOUR CUSTOMERS! This makes everything we talk about today pointless, you are a hack, and you should get out of the industry all together.

Today on the automotive podcast, we are talking about shop safety. This is a topic that is often overlooked. Well, maybe not completely overlooked, but definitely not focused on as much as it should be. This really comes about because of something that happened at my dealer last week. We are very lucky that no one got hurt. Safety is something we all need to be more involved with. We should be first and foremost looking at our own safety, then being aware of others in the shop, and finally the property around us, someones car for example. It can be up to a shop to meet some safety requirements, but in the end, we need to look out for each other! Be safe out there kids

Today we talk about how often you should rotate your tires. This segment is from my segment on another podcast called The Survival Podcast. I sit on their Expert Counsel to field any car related questions. The question was asked by Sean who wanted to know how often he should be rotating tires. This is a great question to answer as oil services move further and further out, many car brands are not accounting for proper tires maintenance. Heck they are forgetting about other maintenance too, but that is another story.

Today on the Automotive Podcast, we turn down a little different path. We look at some of the down sides of being an automotive technician. This is a road that I don't love to go down that often. It can lead to getting stuck in a cycle of being negative. But I also feel like it is important to address. Like with any job, things are not perfect. But through out the show, I want you to be thinking about this, "Things are what you make of them".

Today we are going to be talking about way to be a good apprentice, or trainee or rookie tech. This show comes about for a few reasons. I have 2 trainee techs right now. They are both very very different. Also in my quest to become a better trainer I have found a ton of information about being a good leader or trainer, but very little on how to maximize being a trainee. That is really sad because it is so much a two way street. The better we are as mentors, the more we can do for our trainees. But failing to teach people how to be a good apprentice is also failing. Better apprentices usually become better mentors and leaders. Join me to bring up the level of the entire automotive world.

Today on the automotive podcast, we are talking about bringing your older car to the dealership for service. This is not a topic we have touched on before. We have talked a little about Bringing a modified car to the dealership before. This is a little different, and defining what "OLD" is does vary. Buy dealership standards a 2013 may be old! LOL That makes me feel old.

As you guys know, we added an R32 to the Humble Mechanic fleet. If you saw the video "Everything Wrong With The R32", you know it had a good amount of issues. My goal with the car was to show you guys how to fix all the things wrong with it. One of the first things I wanted to tackle was window tint. The tint on the car looked terrible. Some refer to that as the "South Miami Special". Well I did all the steps right, followed great advice, took my time, and things still didn't go well for me.

Today we are going to look at the State of the Shop. I wanted to cover a handful of topics in one video and keep everyone up to date on the happenings at the VW dealer. This show we are going back to mid March of 2015. We had just hired two new guys from tech school. If I recall correctly, one was invited to leave after about 3 weeks. Nice dude, but wasn't cut out for the job. The other did really well. We are also talking about TDI cold start issues, wiper blades freezing, and other weather related issues.

As you know I went to Automotive tech school. I attended Universal Technical Institute in 2002. My experience at automotive tech school was great. If not for tech school I would never have become a mechanic, and wouldn't be doing videos. A lot of you guys have asked me about my experience in tech school, so today we talk about what it was like for me, and what I had to do to attend mechanic school. My family and I made some choices that many people wouldn't make. I think I would do it again every single time.

Today we are talking about bringing your car to the dealership. But more accurately bringing your modified car to the dealer. In my experience there are some dealers that are awesome about working on modified cars. Many techs are car nuts too. Then there are the dealership that think modified cars are the devil. I lean more to the side of loving modified cars. But there are some cases where you really do pay to play with getting your car worked on. Should you pay more for a service when the tech has to work around modifications that are not taken into account with labor times? Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

When we talk about being a few driver, I vividly remember my time learning to drive. I learned how to drive on a Jeep Wrangler 5sp. Today I look and see how much room for improvement our drivers ed system has. Kids "MIGHT" be learning the basics, but vehicle care is not even a consideration. Learning the basics of car care is part of being a driver. How many kids, or adults for that matter, wouldn't know what to do if they got a flat? Today Rusty and I talk about some of the things that we think should be part of a new drivers education. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

Oil change intervals have been a hot topic for many years. And people really do have an almost religious like attachment to engine oil. When you start to get into oil change interval and what the best time to replace oil is, people get just as crazy. But what is the right answer? Should you follow the book 100%? What about those oil life monitors that many car manufacturers use? Can you trust that?
Today I take Conrad's question as part of The Survival Podcast Expert Counsel. He wanted to know what the best oil change strategy was. We will look at changing oil once a year, following the "Quicky Change" sticker, the owners book, and the oil life monitor. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

What Is Corner Balancing? After installing and adjusting coilovers on the GTI, I had an Alignment done AND the car corner balanced. But what does it mean to corner balance a car? Why might you need to corner balance your car? Will a corner balance make your car drive better? Will corner balancing make your car faster on the track? Today we look at all of that and more. The cost for corner balance and an alignment will depend on the location and the amount of work needed to get your corner balance right. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

Today's podcast comes from a question on a Facebook live show I did about 2 weeks ago. Ronnie asked if people were jealous of my success. Well my initial response was no, but it kind of morphed into a 20 or so minute chat about that topic. So I edited it down some and wanted to put it out there for you guys. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you find this motivating. I want great things for all of you. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

Today we are talking about the right way to borrow tools. As a professional mechanic, I have loaned out tools for many many years. Most of the time this is not a big deal. In fact it's great to be able to help a coworker or buddy out with the task at hand. Then there are the times when you loan something out and people get the dumb. Returning broken tools, NOT returning tools, borrowing the same tool over and over and over again. There is a certain etiquette when it comes to borrowing tools from someone.

It comes a time in every techs career that they get stuck. Stuck with where they are at. It doesn't help that most companies don't have an upward path for technicians.

What the future of auto mechanics will look like is an interesting topic for me. I started in the industry just before all the "driver assist" systems came into play. While there was not a ton of things changing, everything was primed to change. This meant I was in the perfect spot to learn what was old, and what was going to be new. But today the industry is moving at an insane pace. Before we know it, the roads will be filled with autonomous UBERs bringing people to work. But what does that mean for automotive technicians?

When you are getting a car repair, there are tons of decisions to make. Who do I take the car to? How much will it cost? Will the rip me off? Will they do it right? And probably about 100 more. As a dealership technician, I have repaired thousands of cars in my career. I also was held to a very high standard by both myself, and the brand I worked for. Today I want to dive into the world of making a "factory authorized repair" vs a non-factory repair. This is a journey I have been on lately and really trying to open my mind up to new things in the automotive world.

Hi my name is Charles, and I am a professional mechanic. Having said that, I probably don't really look all that professional. Does the way I look even matter? Today we are going to talk about being a professional vs looking professional. The two do not go hand in hand, meaning you can be one, and not the other. This is something I have dealt with my whole career, even before I was a mechanic.

How Auto Mechanics Remember How To Put Cars Back Together? One of the key skills for any mechanic is being organized. Now I will admit, there are times I am not the most organized of mechanics. But when it comes to taking things apart, and putting them back together, you have to remember how things go.
I have ran into many times in my career that I had to refer to something or someone else to give me guidance on getting a car back together. Today I want to share some of those tricks and tips to help you get better and faster at putting a car back together.

Today we are talking about DSG, or Direct Shift Gearbox transmissions. This show initially came on the heals of a video I did with, Jason from Engineering Explained. I wanted to use that opportunity to answer your questions before his video comes out. Let me say, you guys are going to love that video.
Over the years the DSG transmission is one of the parts I get the most questions about. "Should I buy one? It makes a noise, it shifts funny, can I DIY the service?" and on and on. This podcast will shed some light on the topic. If you want to learn more, check out the DSG Transmission Explained video Jason and I did. It actually made it to the VW training page for a while.

This should be a fun episode especially if you have been around a while. Today we are looking back at 2014, and looking ahead to 2015. The super fun part about that is, we already know what will happen.

Becoming a mechanic or "How do I become a technician" is a question I get all the time. It can be a scary thing to research. You have a lot of people that hate the auto industry and would never recommend getting into it. I don't really agree with that. If someone wants to get into he auto industry, then they should. This is not an easy industry to work in. Getting started as a mechanic is expensive. Going to tech school can be expensive. There are other ways to get into mechanic world, with out blowing a ton of cash on tech school.
For those of you that may not know, I went to tech school. I attended UTI in 2002, and followed that with VW training in 2003. Back then VW and Audi had great pre-dealership training. Today that doesn't exist. Today you have to work at a dealer, or attend a participating community college. I really don't love the direction that VW has went with training. That being said, there is WAY more out there than people think. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

I have always been interested in talking to people in different parts of the automotive industry. That is why I started "Behind The Wrench". Today we chat with Paul owner of ShopDAP. Paul will walk us through his journey in the VW world, from tech school to parts manager and now owner of one of the best VW/Audi parts shops out there. This episode aired about three years ago. In that time Paul and I have worked together on many video collaborations and try to bring as much value to the VW/Audi world as we can.

This is a fun topic for the two of us because Rusty is an olds school dude, and I am more new school dude. We Rusty has been around the automotive industry a long time and knows a thing or two, especially for someone that is a service manager. ;)

Doing free work as an automotive tech. Free work is something that can ruin a day when you are paid on flat rate. But doing little things for customers can really set you apart from other tech. We need to look at free work as a small investment in building our customer base. Just to be clear, techs need to get paid for the work they do. The mind set of doing free work needs to be properly placed.

Becoming an automotive technician can be scary. So many unknowns just like coming into any new job. Being a new automotive technician brings some challenges you may not have expected. What do you do about tools? How are you going to get trained? What the heck is flat rate? The list goes on and one. So today Rusty and I talk about some of the experience we have in this area. We also look at what we have seen new guys go through over the years. It's safe to say, this is not a job for everyone.

Do you think your VW is reliable? This is a question that I get a lot. "Should I buy a VW" "Are they good cars". And while I would love to say flat out YES, I usually answer it with "it depends. Taking care of a car is a lot more work them people want to spend. This means many cars are poorly maintained. Owning a poorly maintained VW is not a good choice. Yet many VW are perfectly reliable after 157k miles.
I want this show to get you thinking about issues in a larger space. Look beyond that $1000 bill you just had to pay and evaluate the problems free of emotions.

Buying tools can be a very personal choice. I realize how dumb that sounds, but it's true. I am someone that has spent a lot of time researching tools. In addition to that time doing research, I have spent a TON of money on tools. So today’s show it really built on how to buy tools for anyone from the auto enthusiast, to the DIY homeowner. Also remember that gift cards are always awesome, but are not really personal. This may even hope you pick up some tools for yourself.
After talking about Prepping a car for winter yesterday, I have the holiday season on the brain. Now, this is NOT a holiday show, but I thought it would be a great time to talk about buying tools as a gift. So today on the automotive podcast, we are talking about things to consider when buying tools as gifts. I am also working on a guide to buying tools this holiday season. That will be coming out next week. I assure you, there will be awesome deals.

It may seem like winter is a long way off. But that cold and snow will be here before you know it. Heck for some of you, winter is here. That means we need to be thinking about prepping our cars for winter now! You don't want to wait until the last minute to check your coolant and put some blankets in the car. Go ahead and get this stuff done now. :)

On this show we run into an interesting situation. The topic we are talking about is not really relevant anymore. Well I say that, but I think we can learn a few things from it. We will go into a little about my time with F1 in Texas. This was my first and only to this point F1 race. F1 racing is an interesting one. I am sure there are plenty of things that have changed in the three years since I went. But what an amazing weekend of racing, friends, and Halloween in Austin.
The second part of the show we talk about the VR6 swap Cabriolet. If you are new to the show, you may not know about it. The last project car I built was a 1988 Cabriolet. She got a full VR6 swap in it. This was a super fun build. I am now seeing a lot of the same things on the GTI that I saw on the Cabby. I guess all project cars have these issues :)

Working in a slow shop is not ideal. Well, let's be honest, it sucks! That is a direct impact to your paycheck. Slow times in an auto repair shop are almost a given. I wanted to try and help you figure out how to make that slow time count. You might not be directly getting paid, but if you use that time properly you can win in the end. I have worked in extremely busy times. I have also worked for days where 1 or 2 cars came in the whole day. There may be little you can do about the cars in the door. You can however use that time to learn and grow as a tech.

Have you ever wondered how A.S.E. tests are written? On today’s automotive podcast, are looking at how A.S.E tests are born. For those of you that may not know, ASE is the industry standard in testing automotive techs, as well as many other parts of the auto industry. While I personally have mixed views on the validity of the certifications, having something like this program is a good thing. I don't think that all technicians need to have A.S.E. certifications. I haven't had an A.S.E for years. But it does show a mechanic has went the extra mile. It also looks good to your customer that you have some credibility.

If you are getting ready to hit the road for a road trip, you have plenty of planning to do. But one area people often overlook is getting your car ready for that road trip. This is a vital step in prepping for a successful road trip. I have seen everything from people stopping in for a check engine light with the car loaded up for the beach, to breakdowns due to lack of maintenance 500 miles from home. Getting a car ready for a road trip should start long before you pack the car with gear.

The topic of paying for car repairs is not as simple as it may seen. There are so many sides to the story. You may also be wondering what "Customer Work" is verses "Warrant Work". Why should the warranty charge or labor time be different than the customer pay? Does that mean the customer pays more than the warranty company? We will look at all of that and more.

Today's automotive podcast we look at common car repairs and pattern failures. As a VW dealer technician, this is the world that I lived in for many many years. There were times you knew why the check engine light was on before pulling the codes. This can be a good thing and a bad thing as both a technician and a vehicle owner.

On today's automotive podcast, we are talking buying mechanic's tools. This is a subject we will tackle many times. There is so much out there in the tool world that capturing it all in one shot is impossible. Plus as we grow as DIYers and Pros, our tool needs change. This was a fun show! Plus it's seems like the first show where I started to find a rhythm and get a little comfortable in front of the camera.

Today's automotive podcast is geared talking right to my fellow technicians, or mechanics if you prefer. We are going to talk about dealing with bad jobs. All professions have things about them that are challenging. Being a mechanic can be mentally, physically, and even emotionally draining. I want to be sure I acknowledge those things, and help you guys deal with them. We go WAY back to one of the first shows that actually got some good traction.

Today's automotive podcast is geared more to the customer. What should you do if the shop doesn't fix your car the right way the first time? As much as I wish all cars were fixed right, that is just not reality. We discuss the steps you can take to get your car back on the road with as little headache as possible. We will even talk about some of the reasons this can happen, and why it's not really that abnormal.

Today on the Humble Mechanic automotive podcast, we are talking about Flat Rate. This is the system on which technicians get paid, and customers get charged. There are many in the industry that have strong opinions about Flat Rate. Today we look at several aspects of this system.

There is one thing that I forgot to mention in the video. That is about protecting a customer from slow techs. Having a standard time will prevent a tech from "milking the clock". That means if you get a slow tech you will not have to pay more just because they are slow.

When it comes to getting our cars serviced, we want it done right. We also probably want it done cheap and we want it fast. But in many cases we can't truly have everything. Today you have me in the car on my way home from work. We are talking about allowing time for the job to be done properly. This comes from a lot of different places, a technician rushing, a customer only having a limited time for their car to be properly serviced, or a service advisor that has over booked a schedule. This rushing can end just fine. Being rushed when servicing does not mean your car is going to get destroyed. It does however open the door for mistakes, missing issues, or injury.

Welcome to the first audio only version of the Humble Mechanic Podcast. I have been making Youtube videos for a while now. Hey, if you haven't seen them, check it ~ Humble Mechanic Video Show. As part of that video show, I always wanted to add audio only for the folks that may want to listen while driving, cutting the grass, working, or whatever you people do. So today I am happy to finally get that going.
For a while we will be going back in time to catch up on all the old episodes. You will get to see how the show has changed, and evolved over the years. It really took some time for me to get my rhythm down. It will be fun to see how the audio podcast changes too. I have not totally nailed down the format and distribution schedule just yet. So I would say the best thing is to subscribe on your favorite podcast service, and or here at HumbleMechanic.com.
