Episode 79: Heavy Duty

On this week’s episode of Grease the Wheels, we are paying serious homage to one of our biggest listenerships on this show: the guys and gals who are fixing the really, really big stuff. We’ve gotten to know quite a few of you and now we’re ready to tell what your job is like to the rest of the wrench twisting public. Some of the challenges that these technicians face make our day to day look extremely easy, like when was the last time you needed a crane to remove and install a starter? Some of the problems, like unrelenting customers who don’t want to buy anything even though they need it are very much the same as it would be in a normal shop. The only difference is the amount of 0’s next to the parts and labor. Either way, we wanted to acknowledge the sacrifices of these hardworking techs because it might be something you want to look into if you’re looking to grease the wheels.
