Rahimdad Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 @Barry sounds like we are having similar problems although we are doing different jobs. People send me an email and in 5 minutes I get a call to check if it's done. You are not the only person sending me requests and if you're unable to get it through the systems and tools provided than I will have to source that thing offline. It won't hapoen in 5 minutes. When sourcing it through suppliers outside UAE be mindful about their working hours and weekend. Looking over my shoulder while I work also pisses me off, gives a sense of mistrust. I can go on and on. But most of the points you mentioned applies to my line of work also. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customers head gasket blows, “mechanic” tells customer to buy a new engine because he doesn’t have either the knowledge or the confidence to fix it. Same with rattly bottom ends. I’ve never met a mechanic here who understands the process of regrinding a crankshaft and using oversize shells. New engine is always the answer. I’d always choose a rebuilt engine over an unknown scrapyard engine, it’s going to last a lot longer. But only if I built it or someone I knew built it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahimdad Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 @Barry the rant was supposed to be what mechanics hate the most, but now its turned to hate mechanics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives me absolutely crazy, that does. Just tell them they need to change the blinker fluid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
