@@khendrix1645 being an automotive technician to me would be worth it. It is difficult to learn, but once you do it becomes second nature.

I totally didn’t see your comment until now. There are a lot of pros and cons to being a mechanic and I decided I didn’t want to do it the rest of my life. The Pros are that you don’t really need any education to do so, although your first few years will probably being spent doing very basic maintenance ( Lube tech ) / You don’t really have to ever deal with customers which is a positive ( except occasional test drives with them to confirm issues they’re having ) / Pay can be pretty good, especially for not much schooling required. As for the cons: It is really hard on your body and as you get older, it’ll get tougher. / tools are very expensive but most shops have tool trucks that come by that offer weekly payments / most auto places pay on production like I explained in the video, which can be frustrating. It can lead to very inconsistent paychecks and when it’s slow, you’re kinda screwed / poor benefits and poor treatment from management ( usually ): most dealerships treat their employees like crap but there could be a lot of good ones out there. I personally quit this profession and won’t be going back. I wanted to save my body for when I’m older so I decided to get out. I honestly would consider continuing your education and see where you feel is the best fit for you. I decided to be a tech right off the bat and didn’t do much schooling. So now at 35 years old, I don’t really have an education to fall back on. Wish I would’ve stayed in school when I was younger.

Hey Dan quick question how long were you the mechanic trade and do you have any advice for some one who is new to the trade and have the possibility of working a Toyota dealer thanks.
@DanKamYouKnow Жыл бұрын
About 10-15 years roughly and I am currently out of the industry as of a year ago. It’s stressful, pay can be good but paychecks can drastically vary when you’re flat rate, injuries are very common, dealerships don’t treat their employees that well usually, tools are ungodly expensive, warranty work can suck badly, benefits and time off aren’t good unless you’ve been there 10+ years, it will beat you up and make you very tired over time, and for some reason, there’s ALWAYS drama at a dealership. BUT there are pros: it requires minimal education, most dealers will send you to manufacture training for free if they see value in you, Toyota schedule is one of the best I ever worked ( 4x10 hour days ), pay can be very good for needing no college degree but you gotta know how to hustle and do good work, don’t have to deal with customers besides occasional test drives to verify complaints from customers, Toyotas are hands down the best cars to work on - best engineering by a long shot for the most part, meet a lot of great people in the shop. My advice would be that depending on experience, try to go in as a line tech, I’ve seen so many people get burnt out on the lube rack, just waiting for their turn to move up. Some wait 5+ years of doing oil / rotates, all day everyday. If you have no experience, I would start somewhere else where you can round your skills out a little more. I started out at a Firestone, where I got to to oil changes, brakes, alignments, tires; all as a new tech. Then a couple years down the road, I moved to a dealer as a line tech and bypassed the awful dealership lube tech job. Hope that helps

It seems like a fun, interactive job. I've seen a ton of people who work in the industry talk about injuries and whatnot; why so? It seems to me the heaviest thing you lifted was the tires, which, yeah, are quite heavy; but aside from that? I don't understand. I don't know if the pay is good or not, but im just getting sadder knowing that this industry is changing and it's not very rewarding in the first place, especially when it's becoming more and more complex by each decade. Also, eating just that for lunch? Seems so little for such a big guy.
@DanKamYouKnow Жыл бұрын
Everything is heavy in this industry; suspension components like struts / control arms / leaf springs, also other components like intake manifolds / heads / exhaust components. Everything you work on puts you at a very awkward angles like leaning over a hood is horrible for your back or trying to get under the dash of a car. Standing on concrete for 10 hours a day is brutal on your knees and feet. Injury is extremely common in this industry. Plus you are constantly tightening things which requires quite a lot of different muscles. Not to mention being under a lift when you’re tall, causing you to squat or bend your body to fit. As of a year ago, I left this industry because I wanted to preserve my body as a main reason. The work is stressful, pay can be widely vary because you’re paid by production, even though the base pay is good. Benefits are not good, time off is not good, injuries, stressful work, messy job, tiring, and dealerships generally don’t treat their employees well either. Most techs don’t retire in their 60’s, and their absolutely beat up by then. I did enjoy my time being a tech a learned A LOT, but didn’t want to spend the rest of my life doing it. As for food, I generally worked more with a little less food, just stayed very hydrated. Then grub pretty hard after work. Hope that explains it

@DanKamYouKnow Жыл бұрын
Automotive shops are incredibly loud, and if you talk to any older mechanics, most will experience some hearing loss. Impact guns (to remove wheels and other components) are incredibly loud. Hearing protection is a must but also hard to use, because you need to listen to a lot of things. If you have sensitive hearing, this job will be very tough. And yes, being a mechanic is pretty stressful because pay is inconsistent, the work is inconsistent, and there are so many variables to repairing a car (things breaking while you’re working on them, parts orders the wrong part, the service advisor makes a mistake). I left Toyota in July of 2021 and it was the best thing I ever did. I now work for an automotive software company. For workouts, I recommend a lot of stretching.

Glad you're out of the auto industry, brother. I sell Subarus and my good friend is a factory rep for Toyota out here in Northern California. Flat rate is tough and all the BS you have to put up with at a new car dealership makes me want to leave the industry. Hopefully, sometime this year.

Hey Dan what’s up, I got a quick question for you. I’m pretty young (22yrs) old and been thinking about going into automotive. Would you recommend it and does it pay good in the long run ?
@DanKamYouKnow3 жыл бұрын
The pay can be pretty good but that could take quite awhile to get to that kind of pay. If you’re completely new, dealers will keep you as a low payed lube tech for quite awhile, before you become an apprentice. Very minimal schooling needed to be a tech, so that’s good. The ability to do all your own maintenance on your vehicles will save you quite a bit of money. It is really satisfying to fix a car. You’ll have to buy your own tools which are extremely expensive, and you really never stop collecting. It’s fun to buy but really adds up money wise. Benefits at dealers usually aren’t very good and most dealers treat their employees poorly. Doing this job will really beat up your body too. There are quite a bit of pros and cons to it, as with any job but I honestly would not recommend it. If I had the chance, I would go to school and figure something else out. As of July, I actually got out of the tech side and now I do marketing for a chain of automotive stores. You can hit me up on Discord if you want any more info.

Awesome video Dan! What do you like to do in the evenings after dinner? For me, it's generally games or TV or a movie. I also work a job where I am on my feet and walking all the time, so there are days when I get home and just want to veg on the couch. I may have fallen asleep a time or two as well haha. Hello Fresh is also here in Canada where I live, and depending on price, I may have to try it. Sometimes I need inspiration.

Thanks Mark! Usually we watch a show or 2 and then just chill on the couch until bed ( on work nights ). But same here, I’ll usually play a game and Bryn will read until bed time. HelloFresh is not bad at all and makes it pretty easy. Portions can be a little small for some meals but they all taste great

I have 2012 Toyota Camry LE and my car is shuddering and bogging it bogs around 25 miles per hour shudders at 40 well I think it’s the torque converter and the warranty won’t cover it is this a recurring problem if I get it repaired will it cause trouble again
@DanKamYouKnow2 жыл бұрын
Yes, the torque converter shudder is very common for the Camry’s and RAV4’s. Did you check with a Toyota dealer to see if it’s covered? It’s under a longer warranty then the factory one so I would check first. The bogging your experiencing isn’t one of the symptoms of the torque converter service campaign. It’s only the shudder on light acceleration from 30-45mph. And yes, the new torque converter we put in is updated and it should not happen again.

Well, I do know of one. Toyotas have a Yaw rate sensor which basically determines the angle ( side to side ) at which the car is at, and we had a co-worker unbolt the sensor and rotate it in his hand while it was still connected and all the air bags went off because the car thought it was upside down LOL

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I actually am not a mechanic anymore as of July, 2021. Honestly, I would say no, don’t get into this industry. Technicians are under appreciated, the job can physically beat you up, and the pay system is not very rewarding or consistent. If I were you, if it’s of any interest, I’d take some form of computer science class.
