This young mechanic is warning “listen before you try to work as a mechanic” hit hard. In his story he explains how pay is now garbage, you have to start with your own $40,000 set of tools and your hours get cut. You then work on cars that are impossible to diagnose. My late uncle Jack sold his shop 20 years ago for the exact same reason. Cars were becoming too complicated for old-school wrenchers like him. He saw it coming. What’s happening now isn’t accidental. There’s a clear push to force every repair through the dealership. They load these cars with proprietary electrical systems, modules, and computers that require manufacturer-specific tools, software subscriptions, and certifications just to diagnose. That barrier costs a fortune. Independent shops can’t keep up with the tool prices, the training, the locked-down diagnostics. So the mom-and-pop places that used to keep your car running for a fair price get squeezed out. Customers get funneled to the dealer where the labor rates are higher and the incentive is often to sell more work (or a new car). This isn’t progress. It’s control of the aftermarket. Right-to-repair exists on paper in some places, but the practical reality is that modern vehicles are designed to be opaque to anyone without the factory key. Uncle Jack saw the writing on the wall two decades ago. The kid in that TikTok is living it now. The skilled trades that built this country are being engineered out of the independent repair business, one locked module at a time. Support the shops that still fight to stay independent. And push harder on actual right-to-repair that includes the software and tools, not just the parts.
