My workplace is threatening to deduct money from our tip-outs because someone has been throwing away dining cloths. Apparently this has become a big issue for our general manager. He said if it continues, he’ll implement a “supply fee” that would come out of our tip-outs, which would significantly reduce what we take home. Is that even legal?

Master L**e Tech here. Walked into the main shop to grab some parts and I see a “master tech” doing a cylinder head under warranty… and he didn’t even pull the full timing cover like the manual says. BY. THE. BOOK. It literally says remove it. And he’s just out here free-styling engine work like it’s open mic night. Now I’m standing there wondering… do I say something? Because technically if you don’t follow the exact step sequence in the repair manual, are you even doing the job? Or are you just vibing with torque specs? Warranty job too. Which means the dealership gets paid a set time. So if he shortcuts steps and still flags full time… is that not stealing hours from the sacred flat-rate system? Meanwhile when I take an extra 0.2 to wipe oil off a crossmember everyone’s asking why I’m “over time.” But this guy is over here remixing procedures and nobody blinks. I’m not trying to be the shop snitch… But if we’re all supposed to go by the book… Then we go by the book. Or we admit we’re just out here interpreting service manuals like horoscopes. Someone tell me if I’m wrong. Because from where I’m standing… that timing cover is looking real optional.

Master L**e Tech here. Got my second chance to prove I can handle “real” engine work. They said take the head off. Light work. Confidence high. Grabbed the 1/2” Milwaukee because torque is just confidence in tool form. Zipped most of the head bolts out like a champion. Then this ONE bolt decided it identifies as a circle. Now everybody wants to act like it’s my fault because it’s “stripped.” Stripped how? It was clearly defective from the factory. Probably over-torqued in 2006 by some other “professional.” Shop foreman talking about “you’re not supposed to use an impact on head bolts.” Why not? It removed the other ones just fine. That sounds like a success rate issue on the bolt’s part, not mine. Now they’re whispering about extractors and drilling and “proper procedure.” Proper procedure is whatever works fast and flags hours. I don’t need the other techs finding out about this one bolt. They already get nervous when I start grabbing power tools. One stripped head bolt does NOT define a technician. It defines a bolt that couldn’t handle modern torque innovation.

Master L**e Tech here. Pulled the exhaust and apparently this car has been farming bees. Customer says it’s “running a little restricted.” Yeah no kidding, there’s an entire insect HOA living inside the pipe. I’m looking in there and it legit looks like a wasp condo development. Shop foreman says “that’s the catalytic converter.” Catalytic converter?? Why does it look like a honeycomb then?? Exactly. Explain that. You’re telling me this isn’t a hive? Because it looks suspiciously like something that produces honey and bad attitudes. I’m not sticking my finger in there to confirm either. Customer probably parked under a tree once in 2018 and now the car is eco-friendly. At this point I’m wondering if removing it counts as pest control or emissions repair. If bees start flying out when I hit it with a rubber mallet, I’m flagging wildlife removal labor.

Expert L**e Tech here customer declined all of the upsales so l decided to use an impact on the oil pan so then they had to approve a new one so I could make my 8 hours for the day these customers don't care that we practically live off of food stamps so when it gets slow and no one wants to fix their car we come up with this so then they have to buy it in order for the drain plug not to fall out and then blame the last person who did the oil change

Master L**e Tech here. So I resealed this oil pan ONE time and now it’s “leaking again” and suddenly I’m supposed to just jump back under there for FREE like this is some kind of charity program for ungrateful customers. Absolutely not. If you want it resealed again, you’re paying me again. That’s how labor works. The shop foreman waddles over talking about “comebacks” and “quality control” like I didn’t professionally apply half a tube of RTV with surgical precision. Do you see that bead? That’s craftsmanship. That’s artistry. That’s aerospace-level sealing technology. If it’s leaking, maybe the CUSTOMER sabotaged it. Ever think of that? People will do anything to get free labor. How do I know they didn’t crawl under there with a screwdriver and poke it just to say it’s leaking? How do I know they didn’t overfill it? Or drive it 120 mph sideways through a ditch? But somehow it’s my fault because I’m the only one around here actually moving cars and flagging hours while these “master techs” sit around diagnosing air in tires for three hours. And now the foreman wants me to reseal it on my time? For free? Buddy, you’re about to have a rude awakening when the best l**e tech in this building clocks out for the last time. I can outrun any of these sorry master techs. They don’t have the hustle. They don’t have the drive. They definitely don’t have the RTV bead control. Pay me again or find someone else to lay down perfection. Simple.
