I’ve spent a lot of my time recently fixing issues that previous mechanics have caused. Having been a flat rate mechanic, I understand the need to get things done quickly, but not at the expense of the final product.
This video might be a little rant, but I hope it inspires you to take the time you need to fix things right the first time.
What things have you had to fix that someone else screwed up?
Thanks for watching!
