In this episode, Jeff is joined by Lance Mechanics (lancemechanics10 on TikTok), a technician and content creator who has made waves online for his outspoken views on the automotive industry. Lance details his late entry into the trade, shares the cultural and financial differences he experienced between independent shops and dealerships, and discusses why he ultimately left the dealership world for underground mining. The conversation also takes a critical look at the realities of flat-rate pay, the lack of mentorship for new technicians, and why Lance now advises aspiring techs to consider fleet or heavy equipment work over traditional automotive roles.
