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.

My Experience at Automotive Tech School

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 I want to talk about being aware of your surrounding while driving. This comes from something that happened to me a few months about. If I was not as aware of a driver, I may have gotten myself into some trouble. While today we are talking about being an aware driver, this can really apply to all parts of life. If you have a similar story, please share it below. Hopefully someone can learn from it.
