Couldn’t agree more. One of the best diesel mechanics in my area is surprisingly a pretty young wrencher all things considered. He WAS at a dealership for about 7 years, run into the ground and wasn’t allowed to do certain work because of “dealership rules”. He now owns his own shop. That dealership couldn’t offer enough money in the world to get him back. Best part is everyone in about a 15 mile radius now take their business to him. Not because he poached them, but because word of mouth about his work ethic, his honesty, and the fact that he genuinely loves what he does helping people. Hell, even if I can do my own work on my rig, he gets my business.
