I just graduated from college as an auto servive tech and still looking for a jopb to continue as an apprentice but no calls yet :( I hang out at the local mechanic shop near me just up the street and watch him work have a chat etc.. i learned alot since i been outta school from him, great mechanic. How did u put it on with your bare hands, my mechanic always uses a special serpentine belt to, long bar almost looks like a big ratchet with different adapters for all make and models of cars. Works like a charm everytime. I used a prybar on our to put the belt on but nothing bent or anything, i know how to be gentle and it went on great, nothing bent or broke and she is nice and quite. Some mechanic's atre just plain bad. Like i have some tools but nothing special like that serpentine belt tool. KD wants like 100 bucks for the whole thing. Some canadian tires i know and thier good guys, some are horrible all depends on who u get. My dad does all our work+ me :D Our the local mechanic which is the one i am always hanging out there watching him and his son work, we have a good time there it's fun when everyone stops in and tell a few stoires, logts of laughs ;) No one complaint about his shop and never a come back. Boost, how long u been a mechanic and how much u think u have invested in tools and do you use snap on, craftsman, gray???
My Mom Says I'm Special
