A World Without Mechanics

In a world without mechanics, chaos ensues - from disrupted transportation to stalled industries. The younger generation's reluctance to embrace this crucial trade stems from misconceptions. Yet, mechanics are not just about manual labor; they're problem-solvers shaping our society's backbone. Let's spark discussions on elevating their status and securing a future where our roads remain safe and our engines keep humming.

I'm a 53 year old mechanic I've been at it over 35 years..I started young..saw the industry Change significantly..now what I'm seeing is Young guys who don't care don't want to learn don't want to work hard don't care about workmanship...
At my dealership we haven't had a Single young person Appy in over 1 year..it's not getting better..
Cars are complex and the current new techs are about 2 years behind...it's a LOST cause..the only way it will change is the Government helping and the Automotive Manufacturers helping and training the new Breed..

The automotive industry has propped itself up on the backs of technicians for the last 50 yrs. They relied on car culture to keep people interested in the industry. Now that young people can’t afford vehicles, and the older generation of technicians are leaving due to retirement, lack of compensation, and health problems it’s coming back to bite them in the ass. I feel no sympathy for this industry, it’s getting exactly what it deserves for suppressing wages for so long.
It’s simple math nobody is going to invest $10s of thousands in tools and education for a job that averages $46k a yr for back breaking work in poor conditions, with an ROI that might take 10 yrs or more. When there’s plenty of careers that have a much lower cost of entry, and offer the same if not better compensation.
The labor pool is shrinking and if employers want to find good techs they’re going to have to fight for them. They’re all screaming “ nobody wants to work! “ yet still offering $16-$30 per flag hour when cashier jobs are offering $18- $20 per hour all day.

I started my career as a mechanic 30 years ago, then got out of it and became a Redseal Parts Technician. Currently I'm telling young guys to NOT become a mechanic as there is almost zero future as a automotive mechanic. The fleet i work for now has 20 EV's and over a hundred gas/diesel. Some of those EV's are now 13 years old and have hardly had any repairs. they are going well over 100,000km before even needing a brake pad change. The batteries and motors in EV are going to last 500,000km. so really they need wiperblades, cabin filters, shocks and tires... thats about it under normal use other then accident repair. as we move forward to 100% EV we will not be replacing mechanics as they retire as we won't need as many. Other then Heavy Duty repairs on EV refuse trucks etc.

I only take my F250 to a mechanic if fixing it can’t be done by CZcams, and the times I’ve done so it’s never less than $3K. Whole computer replaced and something wrong with the steering for $3k last year and front drivetrain at $6k the year before. Two more years and I probably could had bought a new battery for my Model S, which is still at 90% after 7 years.
Our economy thrives on inefficiency. Remove inefficiency, economy is gone.

Flat Rate.
Imagine having somebody else determine how much time it takes to do a task AND THEN getting paid 50% of that.
That’s the current way things are done.
