as a mechanic id say tip money, not beer. i get tips all the time. ranging from a few bucks (usually the old folks) to $20. just tell him its for lunch or something. he will definatly like you.


luckily at my shop im paid salary and flat rate! hehe yep i got it like that

i have well over 20k in tools and my collection grows monthly. its definatly a fun job.. we are like doctors but we work on cars instead of people. atleast people can tell you where it hurts.. sometimes i'll be tracing down wires for hours trying to find the problem!
