About

Seasoned mechanic @autotechmike is bursting with mechanic knowledge as is our host and former mechanic Jeremy Perkins. This week’s episode is a treat with these two chatting about anything and everything mechanic. The boys go on about all crazy problems mechanics deal with from disposing of hazardous waste, troubles of being a mobile mechanic, working in a shop after being mobile and much more.

Mike got his start as a trash picking mechanic finding anything on someone's curb and fixing it up for a resale. From here Mike became a mobile mechanic driving around helping those broken down on the side of the road to moving into a shop and eventually becoming the owner of said shop.

Other than problems we get to hear some hilarious stories about crazy clients who gave the guys some hard times. Although they could’ve gone all day with crazy personal stories, Jeremy and Mike finish it off with how to work through problems and the difficulties of having the responsibilities of a business owner.
