That is the problem in this industry, most of the places we work at suck so bad it has jaded us. This guy seems like he’s a very decent guy to work for and learn from. Thats rare today

I used to tell my guys that you won’t make a mistake if you’re sitting on your hands. Just own up and let me know, we’ll go from there.

As a shop owner of a diesel shop I remember plenty of my mistakes and thankful the dealer was patient as I learned. Mistakes are a part of learning every one makes them and you become better
