I’m looking for someone who works in the Automotive mechanics field (mechanic work on any motorized vehicle) for a school related project, all I need are 7 short questions answered about your job. This would really help me lots! If you can help me let me know, thanks.

I don’t know what your questions are, but think long and hard about it if someone is thinking about auto mechanics as a career. Its fun when you are 20-30 but not so much when you are 50-60.

I’m 30 and it’s hardly fun now. It’ll be downright miserable by 50.

Have tendonitis in my wrist between riding, wrenching, cleaning, typing this on my phone I don’t blame my wrist for voicing up!

I was a tech at a GM dealership for 7 years. Ask away and I will help if I can.

I’ve been wrenching for 34 years. It used to be racing on sunday, wrenching in pain monday thru friday. Haha you gotta be tough and stupid. Alot of techs get tendonitis in their thirties. It eventually goes away. I remember for a couple years I had it in both elbows at the same time. I couldn’t even pick up a pencil, but I had to fix cars. Amazing what you can deal with when you have no choice.
