Day in the Life of a Japanese Mechanic

A day in the life of Japanese Car Mechanic or more specifically a Japanese truck mechanic working at Isuzu Motors in Tokyo Japan. This is not your regular Japanese office worker job, but rather a Japanese blue-collar job in a Japanese auto garage. We get a glimpse of Japanese work culture and Japan working hours for a Japanese automobile mechanic. This life in Japan, follows Yuya from morning until evening to show what a typically does before and after working at the Japanese truck garage.
Yuta works as a SEIBISHI, in English, Mechanic. He attended a specialized 4 year professional school, Saitama Automotive University, earning a degree in car mechanics.
He was hired straight after graduation, common in Japan, and he’s been working with the company now for 3 years.
ISUZU Motors, one of the oldest automobile manufactures in Japan since 1916. These days, they’re best known for their commercial vehicles like trucks and buses. But Interestingly, the company itself started off as a department within a shipbuilding company which over many years transformed into the company we know today, with more than 36,000 employes and crowned the #1 truck seller in Japan

@@THEREALJOHNDOE32 Well the question wasn't to you However, since you decided to weigh in without adding anything useful or specific, I'll say this, our government is made up of elected officials. It isn't perfect, but it's the best model in history. Weirdos we have plenty of, so will anywhere else. The government is particularly bad and increasingly so. Entitlements and the welfare state are to blame. They enable and entice many people to become dependent on the government, they cluster in the cities. One of our basically two political parties hands them out and the people in turn vote for them. The longer this stays that way, the more people go on those programs and the constituency grows. Without term limits in many positions, you get career politicians whose power grows the longer they are in office. The power makes them wealthy and are able to live in nice areas shielding them from the slum areas of their voters. They don't care as long as they can continue to line their pockets. It is the same reason they are against protecting our borders. Feel free to add or just continue insult.

I did my heavy vehicle mechanic apprenticeship in a Isuzu dealership in Australia, this is quite a shock to see how good they have it in Japan. They get to nap when we were never allowed to stop working apart from breaks (which were heavily monitored), they have such good equipment when we had two floor jacks for 30 mechanics

[@skrk6]

The naps such a smart thing to provide, it can can be so revitalizing especially if you had bad sleep. Wild they only had 2 floor jacks, I'm a labourer for a builder and even he has 2 bigger floor jacks just randomly lying around that we can use. Not to mention the truck I drive is filled to the brim with milwaukee tools and batteries (we do commercial maintenance) shared between 2 - 3 people. Hopefully you're working for a better company now, if not get out there's heaps better out there now. I'm glad I moved into my job 5 months ago from the shithole I was working for.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

America and flat rate is even worse. How much you make depends on the job and your 20k plus in the hole cause you had to buy tools. Was working for a dealership and I kept getting the crap jobs that paid nothing practically. On payday I either was negative with payments or I just broke even. Ended up giving up on the job and was able to get my tools returned and my credit back. Lousy way to have to make a living in the us unless you own your own shop

My toolbox is also far larger than his and I have more tools than him; I have a chest and trolley, which is small compared to other mechanics toolboxes at work. But I really want that bearing packer, I have to pack mine by hand, which isn't hard but if I don't have gloves I have to clean my hands after. When it comes to writing reports on what was done, we just write it all out at the end, any recommendations or things we noticed. The truck is then inspected by a senior mechanic or foreman, and then it goes off. We rarely deal with customers ourselves,

[@Skargar]

Very fascinating to see how they do work. The morning training and information session is very important to help the staff see what is going on and how their work is impacting the whole business. Cleaning and checking machinery before and after work may seem like a waste of time ("Let the interns do it!"), but it is important for them to do, because they are the ones using the tools and making any dirt. If they have to clean, they will also try to make less waste and be conscious about becoming more efficient. Japanese work philosophy has some really interesting and useful structure, may not be up to date everywhere, but still helps to produce a great service at high quality!

[@SkorpyoTFC]

Fewer tools and less work for the individual than I'm used to seeing working as a mechanic in the U.S., but they have a much larger crew and a much more streamlined operation than American shops usually do; not to mention how strictly maintained the vehicles are in the first place. Very efficient and clean! Excellent video.

[@Scrubworks]

My thoughts as a UK mechanic are much the same. Not many shops here that clean or professional.

[@Pyrolysis2142]

This guy (in the vid) is a glorified lube tech. It's still nice that Japanese companies treat the workers so well. (I know this just from warranty pay when I switched from Dodge to Mitsubishi). From the sounds of the video mechanics there don't get into a lot of technical work because it'd cost the car owner too much. No need for 20k in tools as likely the company provides most of the tools as well.

[@bustavonnutz]

@@Pyrolysis2142 Yep, nothing honestly that impressive from a purely technical standpoint as no doubt the more senior members are doing all the heavy projects most likely.

@@JerryMetal I apologize for nosing in the conversation as John is correct, but something else to check would be if you smell the coolant with the recirculate engaged and windows closed rather than with it on fresh air. If so it's likely your heater core has gone bad. It's what is making the sloshing noise in either case. You can also check to see if the front passenger carpet is wet where the floor starts to slant up toward the dash / glovebox. If it is then that's your culprit.
