As a wrench I can tell you you don't want to do this for a living. I used to live to work on cars and it didn't matter what I was doing I just had to be working on a car!. 20years later I hate to think about monday. I have had almost all of my fingers broken, My knees are shot (some pre-wrench damage) and the hands are always cut up. I don't do much heavy work i.e. engines and trans. stuff I do mostly diagnostics. I have another 9years to go and I get to retire I can't wait. I make a very good living and at the age of 41 I can't change professions and make the same money so I'm stuck. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't be a wrench. Don't get me wrong I still love cars and I love to work on good cars at my pace but as for the job I'm burnt out. Find some other profession to chase. The dealership is where you go to get the factory training then you move to a good independant shop and make the money! thats how to do it. Good luck
