Don't Be A Dirtbag Mechanic - Take A Little Pride In Your Work
Рет қаралды 525,653
4 жыл бұрынIn this video I talk about some of the frustrations of following up after other "shops" work. It is very discouraging to me to see such shoddy work and complete disregard for customers vehicles. Knifing, hackin' and whackin'. Sure, it's ok to get into a harness, it's ok to poke a wire to do your tests. We all do it, we have to in some cases. FIX IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE! Please... and thank you. Have just an ounce of pride in your work and respect for others. -Enjoy!

This reminds me of something I was told many years ago when I was in my technician classes. The instructor said "A mechanic's worst enemy will always be the mechanic that worked on the vehicle right before you". This is solid proof that what he said is absolutely true.

Had a customer come into our VW shop once saying that another shop was dead certain that he needed a new airbag control module and he wanted a second opinion. So I exercise my due diligence, take it slow, check the simple stuff. Sure enough, under the driver's seat was a tiny 16-18 gauge wire that has a very minor brown spot in the insulation right next to the connector. I decided to gently shave it back and found the wire had rotted into an open circuit. Repaired the wire, light went out, fault went away and as far as I'm aware he hasn't had an issue since. Saved him a couple thousand bucks and got a pat on the back for job well done. A happy customer is a returning customer, and usually brings in more business. A job worth doing is a job worth doing right, and it pays off in the long run, even if you have to take the extra time.

YES! If there were a shop that I trusted- if I weren't HOURS away from SMA ... I would ALWAYS take my vehicles there. (I'm in Ohio - haven't found anyone who even talks to me like I might know a thing or two about cars - which I do. In years passed... B4 I got fed up &. Now do ALL repairs & maintenance on my own ( from 8" diffs, axle swaps, fuel filters, brake lines, radiators, all things suspension, carbs, steering clocks, leaks, windows, etc) Too many wrong diagnosis. Too much wasted money. I do it all myself now. And it's a PIMA! I have a whole other job to do, plus car fixes - uggggg!

As a European car specialist myself, that particular wiring harness is the first thing I'd check on an early to mid 2000s VW with airbag issues. They're really bad for that, especially the Beetles. Let me guess- the customer had it at a dealer first? So many VW dealers hire a bunch of untrained guys that can follow a diagnostic flow chart, but when something comes up that the chart doesn't deal with, they can't handle it.

They tell her "well, we don't do that work, but we can recommend a shop for you"...She called me and asked and I said "Leave, just leave now and go to that other shop"...Yea...THIS is why Scumbag mechanics get a bad rap...and in my area?

Cory at S&A auto channel did a similar video where he was frustrated at the lack of workmanship from other shops. Joe over at Joe's auto Electric channel tells a story of the same frustrations. Until I watched KZfaq and came across great shops such as yours, I thought every shop did just enough to get by. I became frustrated at the poor work ethics and poor quality diagnostics and just decided to get educated. Jason is correct in his assessment of your abilities. It may be luck but when luck repeats itself over and over again, it becomes pure magic.

The big difference between Eric O and most mechanics is the simple fact that Eric RTFM before he does anything. That is so important yet so many people don't do. When I worked at a dealership, my dad beat it in my head to always RTFM, which I still do today whenever I work something new. Doesn't matter what it is, I always RTFM. My dad, the guy next to us, and I were the only ones reading the factory service manuals. Everyone else just winged it. It is scary to think about. Thus I don't trust dealership anymore than a shady tree hack, and do all the work myself because at least I know I RTFM before I started the job.

Either go back to the previous shop, demand a quality job... or pay to have it done correctly. Life lessons, I suppose. I've learned myself.... I know to not even trust my local dealer for even the smallest of tasks (trying to save time on a vehicle, as I was working on the engine, but it also needed wheel bearings pressed in). They completely butchered both spindles deforming them. So now I'm out the time, money, and paying out of pocket for parts.

When the only motive of any shop is profit, they'll start losing customers who know they've been fleeced by that shop. Too often, in any field, there are those who shouldn't be allowed in that field because they lack the necessary nature to do the work correctly. Or they may desire to do the work correctly, but knuckle under just to keep management off their back. Eric, you are a rare breed of mechanic. You care about the quality of work you do and do it to the best of your abilities. The shop that truck came from either lacks the training to do exactly what you did or weren't allowed to search for that broken wire. My money is on a bit of both reasons. What garbage mechanics and dealers don't understand is that sloppy work soon comes to bite them in the bum. Word eventually gets around, and it isn't long before they have to fold up their tents for lack of customers.

When it comes to opening up a wiring harness, go to a fabric/tailor store and purchase a "seam ripper" to cut through the electrical tape with ease without worrying about damaging the wires inside. So much quicker then a razor blade and you can get them for less than 5 bucks. I'm a big fan of your videos, super helpful! take care!
