What's up guys?

Tried searching for a similar thread, but couldn't find it (there's probably still a thread but "YOLO SWAG")

Who else here on AZ is ASE certified/a mechanic?

Also, are you guys independent or dealership mechanics?

 

04wdpsedan is. I'm sure there are many more.

 

I thought we had a few. I think we also have a couple of bodywork guys like Maker, etc...

 

Yup, Maker is body work and isn't Nspec PDR or something along those lines?

 

I worked at a few independent shops

 

Mechanic.. or technician.

 

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

 

backyard mechanic here

 

ASS certified

 

and CRAB certified

 

This guy is a mechanic.

 

whats the point of this thread again?

 

Seems like he wants to network with other mechanics on AZ...

 

So they can get together and torque on some nuts, pull some shafts, and lube rubber fittings. Maybe even pound out the rear quarter panel so he can fill the trunk with his junk. Seems legit.

 

Did Maker hijack your account?

 

Didn't think the sarcasm and "douchebaggery" from the other threads wouldn't make it to this one. I guess I was wrong.

 

He grows on you

 

don't take it so hard man, it's the Internet, welcome!

 

you asked a few questions without giving the audience a true topic/subject.

if I asked; "how many of you do your own brake work?"

i would get back a few yes' and a few no's with no real "meat"


if you started off the thread with "hey, my name is andrew and im a mechanic at such and such and was looking to see if other mechanics were on this board. Where do you work at, where did you get your certifications from? any funny stories?

this would open up the dialogue 10 fold instead of the answers you've gotten here.

 

here's a funny article from Jaloponik that describes some customer Horror stories:

Stories Of The Dumbest Customers Mechanics Have Ever Seen

 

share your dumb stories so we can all get a laugh Andrew

 

brake jobs.. justn's shop of horrors open.. $200, comes with salad

 

true story; and I liked it.

 

yes yes he did

 

was it as good for you as it was for me?

 

it was good all around baby

 

Fixed.

 

I managed a couple of parts departments. I have a thread here I really need to update.

 

^ Yeah, that thread was going strong for a bit, then just went limp. You need to get it going again

 

 

We have one of those threads here on Azine.

No, he was not a mechanic-- but he needed one, badly.

Since I'm not a mechanic either,

 

Electro-Mechanical Tech, welder, fabricator soon certified

 

ASS or CRAB cert?

 

why you jelly tho?

 

Any new brake pads out there?

 

wait, so....if this guy is a tech or mech.....then why'd he ask about brake pads?

im so confused andrew...

or are you just in space all the time, like myself?

 

That's what I stated in his thread. Why ask about new brake pads if you are a mechanic/Tech at Lexus... Shouldn't you KNOW if new brake pads hit the market.... or does that go to show us the some dealership techs/mechs don't know shit.

 

I have my Master ASS cert.
