So who is in the profession of workin on trucks n cars in here?

 

i try not to do it anymore, thats what the younger guys are for. but i still step up and help them if they run into trouble

 

Well, this fall, im going in for mechanics. Following the Old mans footsteps there. Decided to go "the easy route" compared to University, hehe...

 

I do HVAC for weekday profession, but I am also the shop mechanic. 4 E-350's, Bosses Winstar and his youngest's camero.
Weekends Tree service ground formen and Mechanic Ford F-350, Brush bandit 150 with a 4.9.
then add all those with the 2 cars and 2 trucks I have. I might qualify as it being a profession.

 

I don't do it professionally (much).
People with real wierd electrical problems eventually hear about me....

 

Service manager/ground worker for local tree service. I maintain a small fleet of equipment, including a topkick bucket truck, Brush Bandit 250XP chipper, and GMC2500, and tons of hand held gear. wouldnt have it any other way either, I LOVE gettin greasy and dirty.

 

Yeah, Im Going For An Autmotive Diploma Right Now But I Want To Be A Heavy Construction Equipment Mechanic For A Career. I'd Rather Work On Big Tractors Than A Car.
I Work In Automotive Parts Retail As A Part Time Deal, And I Work In My Cousins Restoration Shop In The Summer. I Like Customizing So When I Get My Hands On A Mill And A Metal Lathe Ill Be Havin Fun, And I Plan On Opening My Own Custom Shop Up Also.

 

Left the automotive world in '91 and went back to school to get my A&P and have been wrenching on helicopters since then. Still maintain all of my trucks, my neighbor’s vehicles and my father’s equipment

 

I have never done engine work professionally. I did work at my families body shop from the age of 12 till I graduated at 18. Six years was long enough for me. I like cars to much to see what people do with them.

 

I've always preferred to work on my own vehicles to working on those of others, so I never really went into it as a profession. I did work as a mechanic at a national truck rental company quite a few years back, and also did small engines for a time. Now I do construction, but I wind up doing all the maintenance and repairs on not only my boss's equipment but also that of a contractor who rents his shop from us. Last week I replaced the water pump on his D7, today I spent several hours blasting 20+ years of gunk out of the undercarriage of the beast. No, I definitely don't like working on the things. I much prefer to operate them.

 

I crush cars, and do small engine work on the side (mowers,farm tractors ect..
I love working on tractors there so simple.

 

I try to stay away from automotive stuff. I'll do my truck and my wife's car, maybe my brother's and sister's cars too if they ever have a problem. But other than that, I do all my wrenching at work.

 

I owned two gas stations, hated it. Went to work as a line mechanic for fifteen years. Did engine building for four. Then spent eight years building cars (research co.,) and restoring cars for the concours circuit. Now I build just about anything and do a lot of art work.
