Ok well my apologies to you, sir. I was being a little immature about the
whole thing. Understand that I dont like being thrown into a barrel with all
the other loser mechanics (maybe thats why I prefer to be called a Tech). It
really bothers me when I hear on the news and from people all over talking
about how mechanics are all bad and are all out to rip off someone. I really
like fixing VW's and as a result it has led me to my career. I get pretty
pissed when people talk shit about mechanics. Not a whole lot of good things
get said about them. The majority of statements from the general populous is
that ALL mechanics suck. I DONT! Maybe, as one person on this planet I am
trying to convince the entire world to think outside the minute bubble that
most people put themselves into.
If someone makes a blanket statement about mechanics then expect me to speak
up. I am here to represent those who are actually honest and give a shit
about their customers.
