Just finished replacing my first engine as a first year apprentice, 6.2L V8 L87
Customer complains “Had strut done by a local backyard mechanic and it sounds weird”

The stupidest bullshit happened at work today
Just had a job offer at a well established shop and... Wow.
Stuck slider in brake hanger, applied heat and it shot out with a bang.

I started at 800$ per week. Am quitting my service advisor job at 108k after 4 years.
