Every since I saw you on U-tube I have been praying for you Rich. You do remind me of my son...maybe that's why. But I have asked the Lord to shut doors and open the one door he has for you and I believe He has answered my prayer for you. Do know this 76 yr old great grandmother prays for you. I hope that is comforting to you.

Rule #1: Work at places that are close to home. -Your 1-2hr drive each way to work is waaay to much. = Save 2-4hrs driving each day = 2-4hrs extra with family every day. Getting good health insurance for smaller companies is difficult.

Rich, I started my career wrenching for Ford 32 years ago. I'm a Ford man (I only drive Fords) but 22 years ago I had to make a tough decision and leave them. Went to BMW and I've never regretted it. Best decision, career wise, I've ever made. God is good. God and family first.

I'm very happy for you my brother. I wish you the very best in your new job. I wish you the very best in your new life as a married man and father. You now have so many subscribers that there's no way you can possibly remember all of us early in your KZitem channel subscribers. You might remember me possibly may remember me , due to my hundreds of super chat contributions to you and your growing channel when you worked at Dundee Ford , long before your knee injury. I'm body man Bob from Northern Virginia, my lovely wife of 45 years bought land and had a beautiful home built here in Alabama. We are both retired and grand parents. I'm a Senior Master automotive collision tech with 47 years in the business. My best advice for you my friend is put as much money into your 401K or I R A as you can , I did what I'm advising you to do , time flies so fast . My wife and I are living a wonderful retirement life now and I want the same for you and your wife . Do not think Social Security will be there when you and your wife retire. Save , invest , and do not believe any thing the Federal Government says. Wishing you and your family a safe happy Fourth of July holiday, enjoy your life as I've already said the years go by so fast enjoy every day God give you, from my heart to yours, be blessed. Thank you for your military service to help keep America free. ♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉🙏🙏♥️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@THEjasonTDI I'm an automotive locksmith. Our starting price on a mobile lost key is $250. Most blade keys with transponders are $250. Most push to start fobs are $350. We use mostly OEM fobs. We had a lot of bad experience with cheap aftermarket keys and fobs. We provide a warranty also. We are still cheaper than the dealer plus we come out to our customers. They don't need the car towed either. I look at it this way. I don't have competition. Guys who buy cheap fobs and charge $100 aren't my competition. Those customers can't get these guys to return when the fob stops working. They also are customers I don't want. They don't appreciate quality work, just price. Those guys never last either. If you want to be able to do this right you have to have an account with NASTF. Most of these Chuck in a truck guys won't pay the fees so they can't do all the cars. They also buy the cheapest programmers which do not have as much coverage as the more expensive ones. Customers get who they are willing to pay for and I am perfectly fine with that. We run 80 to 150 calls per week. I turn down jobs where right away they start to argue with me about price. I know they aren't someone I want to work for. If I didn't have the business I might have to change my attitude and kiss a little ass but fortunately I can pick and choose who to work for.

A young friend is a certified Volvo mechanic. I met him a few years ago when he was 24, working for a classic Volvo shop in Portland. He has encyclopedic Volvo knowledge, high work ethic & integrity. He was getting paid crap ($15-20/hr) by the shop owner, if he got paid at all. Long story short, he's now running his own shop now & charging $100/hr. Just heard you say VW. I used to be a VW fan & have had VW & Audi, but my current S4 has to have the engine pulled to change the timing belt. WT Heck? I've switched to old Volvos now. Specialize & you will do well. Consider working on your own or starting your own shop.

I'm on year 30 now as an Automotive Technician , A few Indys, a Franchise and 4 brands of Dealers in 3 states. Mercedes, Chrysler, VW and Infiniti/Nissan. My Young self 30 years ago went after Mercedes for the Money. I found the young idea to be wise beyond my years. I'm back at a Benz Dealer and will have 20 years with that brand in 2 years. What has kept me in the Dealers is the Benifits. 401, Health Insurance, Vacation ETC, The thing that made me go back to benz is the Money. Benz Dealer tend to be less stingy with the techs I always assumed this but experienced this first hand with every other brand I had worked for. Dealers are sometimes hard to wrap your head around. They can be a good long term place to work. These days the dealerships are having a harder and harder time finding techs and I see them taking better care of us. Used cars is a Nice Gig. Less Stress than the main line. EIther Way, consider the benifits, build up that 401K and Pay off that house.
