Me and Mentor went over his house to shadow how he worked on his Range Rover. He had sorta like a shop in his garage, enough tools to work on any car, but not the right machinery for a huge work. He installled a new computer network into the car, and was having a hard time working on newer cars. It was a new 2012 Range Rover all black, and had barely any miles into the car. Nice car, but had my mentor working on it for a while.

Messed up a bit today on learning how to propelry put each spark plug for a car. Had many of them for a V-8 truck that had came in. But was able to get help to fix it right on time, Mentor wasn't able to work much but a couple of his co-workers teached me and was able to shadow them on their work. Soon after that just helped on fixing this motorcyle bike that had came in and just got to watch. This people eat, sleep, and just live on fixing cars and bikes.

Today was going of a slow day, nothing really went on today. So my mentor came out with his son to do work on his 73 Camaro, we worked on its exhaust and changed a bit of the fluids for the engine. Checked the smogged as well, and have been learning how to properly change the tire of a rim. Took a while to learn but got the best out of it, over all slow but productive day.

Same thing like always, today I helped mangaging costumer service. Helping people in the front counter making sure I know exactly what they needed for their car. I called over my mentor a couple times for help, and he took care of most the work. Many new cars came in, like a couple of BMW needing an oil change and muslce cars like a Mustang GT.

Today in the shop, my mentor had a new project coming in. He had a new 2014 Camaro, and had to swope the tranny from a automatic, to making the car a stick shift. It took him a while and I just watched and helped with any tools needed or physicaly helping on the car. Had took a while but went out to finish my 3 hours for the day.

Today I had a hard time learning the way to properly change the oil in a car. We had work on the 73 camaro once again and had changed up some of the tires, as well as fix the brakes with brake fluid. Had trouble changing the rims of tires since i didnt corecctly learn the way to change them, still learning everything in the shop and the many hobbies everyone has inside, go to meet a lot of new people and tell about the life they have in the shop.

Time Logged: 3 Hours
Still learning more and more about my mentor and his way of living in the auto shop, has been a great learning experience. Now that I'm adapted to the way things run in the shop, I'm feelings less stressed out or shy of working in the shop, just helping out was a bit different of course, but it was just a matter of time. Now just getting all kinds of cars coming in the shop, from big muscle cars to small imports, it's all with in the same family of cars. As well as learning where each kind of brand car each come from. It's been a while working with my mentor since last semester, I sometimes feel like this is now my every other day job but without my reward of working. I've been done with most of my hours it's just a matter of time to keep working more and more and learning anything I could possible learned about cars.

Over last 3 weeks I have learned so much about cars and how much cars mean to people. How much money and time people are willing to pay off for their car to be fixed and run better. I try adapting to the way it is to work in a auto shop with my mentor, helping him and his coworkers fixing and modifying all kinds of cars. It's been a while now since I have start my hours since last school semester, but it has gave me enough time to even do stuff to my own car as well. Like learning to save money on the most simplest things, as to fixing someones oil change in a car. Learning all about tools as well that are needed for any kind of job done to a car. The time and love mechanics have to work on cars every day of their lives is incredible, plus the money they make as well. Sure I'm learning a lot and getting a great benefit out of these volunteering hours.
