Welcome to a series detailing the everyday struggles of an automotive technician.
Life really is a series of twists here, turns over there, and a dozen blind spots. Dotted along its rather long and, at most times, treacherous route. I got this free crash course in the early years of my practice. Training as an automotive technician, trying to put the knowledge into practice and make a name worth mentioning in this overcrowded space of automotive specialists.
I can authoritatively say it’s not easy to create rapport with clients. Enough trust for a car owner, especially first-time vehicle owners.
For them to just comfortably let you tinker with their machines without the perpetual fear of their metallic babies blowing off into outer space or resting forever in pieces with their ancestors.

And as sure as hell is hot, disaster has struck randomly at car clinics. Innumerable times leaving the owners with mild to acute cardiac seizures, countless iron carcasses, and of course countless technicians on the run.
Some of these technicians completely melt into the massive sea of the overall donning army, with a lesson learned and a profile updated.
As fate would have it, some are marked by the devil to teach the massive overall army some vital lessons. Sometimes I guess the little horned guy just does it for obvious sadistic kicks in his often successful endeavors to inflict unnecessary suffering on poor humanity.
I have major plans to swear an oath. Maybe in the less busy afterlife. After this rather hectic one of searching for money over here. To seek out that father of imps and deal a strategic character development crash course to last him a lifetime in hell.
Keep it carffeine for part II of this comical and lesson-packed account of the journey of our ever-hilarious in-house automotive technician.
