It’s sad that today’s "mechanics" are really just parts replacers. I don’t know any mechanics that can machine a part on the fly.

interesting film. it’s weird cause there are cases in the film where the mechanic’s job was simpler (cars were simpler and a lot more straightforward), but in other cases harder (you had to know everything from mechanical work to body work in order to be successful). makes me almost wish I was a mechanic back then instead of being one now (which I am).

2:05 – "A coil and condenser is necessary to step up the current enough to jump the spark gaps" – Wrong – The voltage is stepped up, the current is reduced. Your supposed to put a large resistor just before the coil to 1. Stop the coil from over heating 2. Prolong the life of the spark plug ground electrodes. If anyone was interested.

At one time a mechanic was a respectable job and they generally earned decent money. In today’s world a mechanic that has all of the skill shown in this video plus so much more now that we have to be able to serve electric cars to and the pay is dog shit even holding 10 state certifications and 5 ASE Certifications! Wtf

I had a broken alternator bracket on my 01 v6 accord yesterday. Part stores dont sells this part by itself. My buddy from high school looked at it, he said let’s take this off, I handed him the two broken pieces. He said "oh yeah, I’ll be back in about 20 mins. This thing was no bigger than 2 inches in any direction. Multiple holes and 2 different sized bolts welded to it and the whole thing was an L shaped beam. He came back and it looked like a brand new part.it was even painted black. I was super impressed. Put it back in and my belt doesnt squeak anymore. The spirit of this time is still alive and well but it’s not in the corporations and franchisees. It’s in your home town, your city. Everyone has something they are good at. Build yourself a network in your local area and you’ll never have to scrap a car.

All his buddies got blown up by Panzers and Germann 88s. Being an excellent mechanic saved his life.

To be fair, being an automotive technician back then was a different job entirely than it is now. It’s not that they don’t machine their own parts anymore it’s that you go to a different kind of auto mechanic to have that done. If you want something machined you go to an engine guy who machines engines and parts. They just seperated the machining from the auto repair because it’s a specialized trade in itself and with cars being more complicated nowadays, they seperated the industry into different aspects. It’s exactly the same as how auto body repair is its own specialized business from mechanical repair. In some ways, having replaceable parts instead of having to machine new ones has made car repairs a lot cheaper and faster nowadays.

Those gadgets added around 7 extra wires to the whole car. I’m sure guys complained back then about the "rats nest" of wires under the dash. LOL.

Stealerships have no interest in paying the salaries of competent technicians. They want young & inexperienced warm bodies that will work cheap. The best technicians left dealerships in the 80s to open their own shops. Now, thanks to over regulation and the costs associated with running up to date shops, those old guys are getting out and few are interested in learning. I can’t blame them. The money just isn’t there like it used to be.
