Should You Follow Your Owners Manual for Maintenance?

Should You Follow Your Owners Manual for Maintenance?
/

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.

Professional Auto Mechanics Must Buy Their Own Tools?
/

Buying Mechanic tools is EXPENSIVE! Did you know that most pro auto mechanics must buy their own tools? Even many beginner mechanics must spend a lot on tools. I spent about $5000 in tools my first year as a mechanic. So should you have to buy your own tools, or should a shop supply tools?

The State Of The Shop ~ Audio Podcast Episode 58
/

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.
