Today on the Automotive Podcast, we turn down a little different path. We look at some of the down sides of being an automotive technician. This is a road that I don't love to go down that often. It can lead to getting stuck in a cycle of being negative. But I also feel like it is important to address. Like with any job, things are not perfect. But through out the show, I want you to be thinking about this, "Things are what you make of them".   Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

Today we are going to be talking about way to be a good apprentice, or trainee or rookie tech. This show comes about for a few reasons. I have 2 trainee techs right now. They are both very very different. Also in my quest to become a better trainer I have found a ton of information about being a good leader or trainer, but very little on how to maximize being a trainee. That is really sad because it is so much a two way street. The better we are as mentors, the more we can do for our trainees. But failing to teach people how to be a good apprentice is also failing. Better apprentices usually become better mentors and leaders. Join me to bring up the level of the entire automotive world.   Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

Today on the automotive podcast, we are talking about bringing your older car to the dealership for service. This is not a topic we have touched on before. We have talked a little about Bringing a modified car to the dealership before. This is a little different, and defining what "OLD" is does vary. Buy dealership standards a 2013 may be old!

As you guys know, we added an R32 to the Humble Mechanic fleet. If you saw the video "Everything Wrong With The R32", you know it had a good amount of issues.  My goal with the car was to show you guys how to fix all the things wrong with it. One of the first things I wanted to tackle was window tint. The tint on the car looked terrible. Some refer to that as the "South Miami Special". Well I did all the steps right, followed great advice, took my time, and things still didn't go well for me. Become A CrewMember If you like this show.

Today we are going to look at the State of the Shop. I wanted to cover a handful of topics in one video and keep everyone up to date on the happenings at the VW dealer. This show we are going back to mid March of 2015. We had just hired two new guys from tech school. If I recall correctly, one was invited to leave after about 3 weeks. Nice dude, but wasn't cut out for the job. The other did really well. We are also talking about TDI cold start issues, wiper blades freezing, and other weather related issues.
