Why do mechanics have autistic hours?

Why do mechanics have autistic hours?


Seriously, everyone who has a real job works M-F, the best times for us to take care of our errands during a week is obviously Saturday and Sunday. Fucking garages are closed on Sundays and generally only work shit hours on Saturdays with a skeleton crew.

How about a shop thats open on weekends, or 7 days a week?

And the whole mechanics thinking they deserve the same holidays as everyone else, fucking autistic fags you bitches should be open on New Years Day if it falls on a Monday. Id be fine paying a 1.25 labor rate on weekends even.

Why are garages owned by autists? Is it because anyone with a half a brain could make more money doing something else? Fuck you college dropouts/super seniors, start working on weekends!

Fix your own car then faggot

this is retarded

Mine opens at 8. I take it in before work and then walk to work.

I can pick it up the next day on the same schedule or just leave work an hour early the same day if that works better. They even expanded their Saturday hours but fuck leaving the house on a weekend.

Ive actually been thinking about this as an investment in my area with some buddies. We open an autoparts store with an intent to undercut service centers in the area so we get part contracts, have our own in house drivers (a couple of our children working for shit wages), etc so we fit in immeditately, and then attach a "24/7" service shop to it.

>tfw during the peak of the season i'm working 6:30-6:30/7 monday through saturday
mechanics (and the post office and the dmv) always open after i start work and close before i get out so i have to come in late if i ever need to have work done on my car (or use the post office or renew my license etc)

my idea was to have a store with noon to 8pm business hours. that would allow people to stop in during lunch and after work, and allow your own workers to get shit done in the morning before coming in to work.

this but unironically.

Late hours and a few Sunday hours would be good. You could for instance cut out Tuesday or Wednesday entirely to compensate or something like that. Museums often close on Monday to compensate for weekend traffic.

>Has never even heard of osha

for weekends i would either have a dedicated part time crew mostly staffed by local teenagers, and/pr have rotations so that some of the full time workers have to work weekends but then get two days off during the week.

Why not learn to work on your car yourself? Nothings hard about it, if you can't do it you're either lazy or stupid.

Mechanics don't want to work weekends either. Take the day off or fix it yourself.

Hey buddy, GO FUCK YOURSELF.
I ain't fixing your rusty fucking pile of shit on my weekend unless you pay me at least 3 times the door rate.

Unless you're prepared to make me some serious cash :
GO
FUCK
YOURSELF

This is the most autistic thing I have ever heard?

Have you only owned shitty cheap cars in your life?

Do yout literally have nothing else to do in your life to the point that you can work on cars and shitpost on Veeky Forums and maybe make a few hundred bucks a week at some crap job?

You know some of us are not losers and have other shit to do right? You know that not all cars are easy to work on right?

I mean Ill pay your master a higher rate, and you will suck his dick and work if I want you to lol. Or find another employer when he fires you.

I love when non independent mechanics think they are a skilled labor asset XD

minimum wage staff buys you minimum wage work

and if you're extending this "philosophy" to a garage, you'll never find any competent mechanics to staff the shop with.

So enjoy being sued by your customers into oblivion for sub par and unsafe work.

I was talking to a guy in my family who runs a shop. He used to race. I don't agree with him about everything, but we're eye to eye about what makes a successful business and what people want long haul.

He said
>yeah it cost me $65 thousand to get the alignment rack
I said yeah and to factory specs they have both front wheels toed in the same direction and it counts as straight while you have to hold the wheel the wrong way so the whole thing drags.
>cue conversation about how to do an alignment yourself in the driveway
and then he says
>yeah there are only two guys I let use the alignment rack because they know what they're doing
>the rest of them, they don't get it
because
>I want to have a customer who comes to me, and I can do everything
>I can take care of them
>I'm not going to send them to this place to get a tire or that place to get a scratch fixed
He's very successful.

>TFW have Porsche Passport.
>TFW something goes wrong Porsche drops off a new car wherever I am.
>TFW if I want same car I can make tech bitches fix it any time between 5:00am and 10:00PM 7 days a week

I cant wait for the future.

Speak fucking English.

Are you too autistic to ask the shop for a lift to work and a pick-up when done?

my new fetish is pics of girls from the early internet days.

That's also a necessity.

>Have misfire issue
>Cannot drive car because it will damage engine
>Ask for lift to and from work 10 minutes away.
>End up asking for 20 minute round trip for 70 dollar diagnostic and coilpack install

Can you be anymore autistic?

Things like timing service sure but there are cheap things that require immediate attention too.

>Hey can I use your lift?
>While they have 40 cars in the lot all needing work involving their limited lift spots
Yeah nah

:^)

not even close :^(

Careful this one isnt legal yet

Good luck getting good techs and parts guys to work nights and weekends. Every shop I've worked in all the good techs take the good shifts, the rest is filler. Same goes for parts guys.

Most of the carquest/Napa stores here are open evenings and Saturday's, guess who works in the evening and on the weekend? That's right, the ricerfag that looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked him for a roll of 3/16" brake line, i had to go out back with him and find it myself. The guys with 20 - 30 years experience are gone home by 4:30.

That being said at most shops you can drop your vehicle anytime after hours, they usually have a Dropbox for keys.

I thought you were a troll, but now I know. Go back to your six figure job, big tittied Swedish wife, silver Audi and stop shitposting on Veeky Forums. A man of status like yourself surely has something better to do.

I was wondering the same fucking thing a couple months ago when I needed an alignment. Every mechanic was open like 9-5 during the week and closed on the weekend. How do these mfers even get any business with these retarded ass hours? I eventually found some Mexican place open on Saturday mornings do it

Go to motherless and search for Jordan Capri

MOST consumers wouldnt mind paying an hourly rate based on service timelines offered.

Pal, that's not how it works. If I don't get the share I want from the shops door rate, I go to another shop, and the owners fucking know it.

they weren't caked under a ton of makeup and filters back then.

they also seemed like lesser cunts.

google Kate from Kates Playground

Considering I worked at a shop for 8 years, we had our helper basically constantly shuttling people around. Helps get the kid good at finding NVH issues and up selling add on services.

You know how many times I'd make a call once the kid came back and offer an alignment and balance on a job like that and get some extra $$$ out of the job?

Also its a pay it forward kind of idea, you suck the loss of time from a helper/porter in hopes that you get the customer to recommend others to you.

>being this illiterate.

this post but unironically.

more butt shots

>PowerWolf desktop wallpaper
Literal wife material

>insults the intelligence of the ppl who he pays to fix his car
>not realizing he's the autist for not knowing how to fix his own car
faggot

just bing triforce girl retard.

Here you go, m8.

Not OP but I really dont think someone could be more retarded than you.

Lets apply your logic on a few other items until you realize how fucking stupid you are and never post again:

>complain about grocery store hours when he could just grow his own food
>complain about pharmacy hours when he could just make his own medication
>tfw too dumb to arrest a criminal and has to call police

You realize that most successfgul people are more than capable of fixing their own cars right? You realize that the reason they make more money than you mechanics is because they utilize their superior intelligence in other ventures right? You realize that your very career ONLY exists because they would rather let some loser do trivial tasks than waste their valuable time right?

I have a PhD in Physics and I fix all of my own shit.
If you want it done right, you do it yourseld.

You are neither successful, capable of fixing your car, or literate for that matter.

no, you don't.

>everyone who has a real job works M-F
including mechanics

Yes, yes I do.

You already bitch about "outrageous" rates when it's 9-5.

>Thinking a degree means youre smart

Im retarded and I have a masters in Data Analytics, a BS in actuarial science, and an AS in accounting.

suck a dick fag.

>TFW you chose to tell us what your degree is rather than your occupation because youre retarded like me.

And here is removing a 600+ lbs transmission from my truck.

>Im retarded and I have a masters in Data Analytics, a BS in actuarial science, and an AS in accounting.
>I'm a retard and have retard degrees
Your point?

Because my professional title is non-descript, Scientist II.
What is a Scientist II? A physicist, with a doctorate in physics. So it is easier to tell people I have a PhD in Physics.

>Retard degrees


Im starting to think of why you didnt list a successful job along with that degree.

Btw in my late 20s, 6 fig, working as actuarial analyst for fortune 100.

:^)

why is this dated today?

...

Because I cropped it so it would be under the image size limit.

Where do you buy stuff like that? Do they have surplus auctions or something?

I have a 5 figure number I want to blow on stupid shit like this in a few years.

It's a 4-figure item. Bought it from a guy in NJ, and drove it 400 miles home. It's some pretty good shit.

4 figure?

WAY cheaper than I thought.

Does it run on any gas and stuff?

Take a day off now and then cuck

It's diesel only. It has an 8.3L Cummins engine.
My truck is not a 2.5 ton (deuce and a half), it's the larger 5-ton. The wheels are 49" tall.

Thanks for the ban mods, now I can bump my own thread.

Kill yourselves.
