I started at the dealership when I was 18, never went to tech school and taught myself everything from there. Over the years, I worked my way up from changing oil, to flat rate tech, to shop foreman — now I run my own performance shop. I built WrenchRated because this trade is dying. Nobody’s teaching it anymore, and too many good techs are walking away. Good mechanics are few and far between, this is my small attempt to change that. No sales pitch. No courses. Just real tools and real tips that I’ve learned from nearly two decades in the shop. Hopefully this information helps you out on your automotive journey.
