.<br />but if I get the work order I go get the tech that blew it and teach them what they missed, or I try to.<br />most will never be a tech and will always be a rigger or a 100 hour service mechanic.<br /> I have been hollering for some industry regulation/license for years.<br /> I am not amitech but the yamaha master tech test scared me.<br /> I went into the breakroom when I was done and was worried they would never allow me to work on a yamaha again.<br /><br /> but I passed it .<br /> got a shirt and 7 gold pacthes.<br /> cost me out of pocket about 5 years and 5000 dollars.<br /> but I got it.<br /> anyone at any time can talk to me. I will do what I can to aid all. why ya think I spend so much time here.<br /> other than a bit of sado-masichism on DC.<br />when I decided to get back into this when the navy booted me,they still pay though, I decided to be the best.<br />but most techs I run into have no drive and very low reading and reading comprehension skills. without it your sunk.<br /> you will be the rigger/100 hr service tech.<br /> teach yourself to read all the material not just the service manual and you can excell.<br /> funny about the home thing.<br /> I make no distinctions if they have a travel trailer and dog poop all over or a 3 million dollar home in martins point. I bill.you pay.<br /> if the rig looks like junk I will asses the rig and tell ya. <br /> nothing worse than rebuilding a set of carbs when the impeller is fried and the gearcase is full of water.<br /> what I tell the dealers I contract for is this, its your dealership and my reputation. which one will suffer ?<br />its not uncommon for my customers to stand inside my front door hollering for me in bed at 5:30 in the morning. the decent ones allow me to make a pot of coffee the really good ones bring some.<br />the house has been here since 55 and the phone number since 63,<br />I have lived here full time since 94.<br /> I have no qualms with coming home, pressure testing a beverage can, unplugging the phone and fireing up the stereo while my grill is hot.<br /> so not all techs are out to rip ya off, most dont even know they are doing it.<br /> I approach the job with the attitude its not my money but it is my reputation and if I try to save the customer 5 buxs and he paddles back he is not thinking,bless poor tom he tried to save me a buck. he is thinking I just had it there and paid and I am paddling. I am gonna whoop his butt.<br /> and that is mostly the secret to how I do what I do and play when I want and give my horse a kiss now and again.
