Lack of work is not the issue.

The issue is the customers are morons, the bosses are morons, the dealerships are morons, working under warranty pays bloody half the usual hours, and no matter what happens to a car after it leaves the shop, you will be blamed.

I don’t know a single goddamn mechanic that enjoys their job and doesn’t work for a really reputable shop. Chances are you will work in a shithole.
