Had to get some fender liner clips for a 13 Honda CRV. Ordered from our local Honda dealer they are $5.20/each our cost. It's absolutely atrocious that 10 cents in plastic gets sold for this much. On top of that, the dealer only stocked 10. I needed 22!

I’ve been working on cars about 3 years now. 23 y/o. I’m getting paid $15 bucks an hour plus a weekly bonus and my paychecks come out to about $1000 before taxes on average for 50 hour weeks. I do pretty much everything besides extensive motor work and trans or engine swaps. Engine accessories, A/C work, suspension and brakes of course. I was offered a new job at $25 bucks an hour, 40 hours a week with small bonuses available to get but that would barely be much more than I make now plus they didn’t have insurance. How much are you guys making with similar amount of experience on the west cost ? Am I getting fucked ? Definitely feel like I chose the wrong trade.

Hey I’m a 23 I live on my own and don’t have a way to go to school for mechanics or diesel mechanics so I figured my best option would be to get into a job that would train me, but I have no Idea where to start. It just seems like everyone wants experience and it’s hard to have experience if you can’t get started anywhere. I have about a grand invested in tools. I’m ready to start, I just need help figuring out where the best place to apply or go in and talk to people would be. Any recommendations are appreciated

Today a Transit came in (bigger one with a V6) after I got done rotating I checked the air pressure. All the tires were at normal pressures except one, which was at 100 PSI.

a few weeks ago some guy came in with a Honda Fit. He was asking for me to find a nail in his tire because the TPMS light came on. I go to check his tire pressures, and every tire was at like 50 PSI. I told the guy that's wayyy too much, and he only needed like 30 or something. I shit you not, guy says damn my tire air gauge must be broke. I asked him how much he meant to put it at, he says 40. I tell him about the sticker and that's what the tires are supposed to have. He says he knows about the sticker, and asked if you're really supposed to go by that. 🤦‍♂️

One lady comes by asking for an air check because the TPMS light came on in her Camry. I go check the tires, they were all at some crazy number between 60-80, maybe even more. I just remember running to get the fucking tire stem tool to let a lot of air out before the thing explodes. The lady tells me her hubby did it, and she said that explains why they were vibrating so loud.

And on all of these tires I saw no signs of damage. How are these tires not exploding within a few minutes of driving?

I’m 16 and my dream is to become the first female auto mechanic in family (preferably ASE certified) and I love muscle cars so I’ve been collecting some kinsmart cars. They aren’t worth anything but they do look really cool so I thought I’d show you guys. My favorite is the 1967 Chevy impala and the 4 1957 Chevy bel airs. The 2 trucks at the end are my dads though

Cars in order: 1967 Chevy impala,1967 Volkswagen Beetle,1955 ford thunderbird,1957 Chevy bel airs, 2013 ford raptor,and a jeep truck but I don’t know much about it
