Sharing some thoughts about mechanics

Hello Everyone, 

I’ve been thinking about something interesting lately regarding how things work at car dealerships. You know how sometimes it feels like the mechanics, who are incredibly skilled and smart, often seem to be in a more behind-the-scenes role, compared to, say, the service writers or other staff who are more front-facing or closer proximity to the money.  

It’s always struck me as a bit curious, especially when you really consider the sheer depth of knowledge these technicians possess. Modern cars are like complex puzzles, and they’re constantly diagnosing intricate issues, mastering advanced systems, and keeping up with all the cutting-edge technology. It’s way more than just turning wrenches; it’s sophisticated problem-solving and a profound understanding of mechanics and electronics.

Honestly, when you think about the level of technical expertise and diagnostic brainpower they bring to the table, sometimes I feel like they’re practically ‘associate’s degree mechanical engineers’ or more in practice! They’re essentially car doctors and engineers all rolled into one. Just a thought I wanted to share!

Best,
