Ignore those whose perceptions are pre-set. Some mechanics are great problem-solvers and smart people. Others are poor techs, lazy and crooks. The problem is that the barriers of entry to the profession are low. It isn’t hard to find work in the field, or to start your own garage. To excel takes good work in a steady environment so your reputation can develop. That takes time. I have found several mechanics I really admire. I drive more than 100 miles to take my car to one of them.

I think the problem also is that many people don’t understand automotive issues. That lack of understanding is ripe for mistrust when things don’t go well.

I have been fortunate – money for college, a good marriage, a good job and very strong investments. I work hard, and I don’t feel guilty. I am, however, very aware of people who are not as fortunate. My financial success is due in part to lucky circumstances. That makes me all the more willing to share when opportunities arise. Onlookers might mistake that for acting on guilt. Be careful not to label positive actions with negative origins. I recognize our economy as a system that favors those within it. I try to create opportunities to bring in those who might not have a chance otherwise. But guilt? No.
