I just wanted to start a little conversation about a question that bothers
me (albeit very little.)
When someone brings their vehicle to your garage, do you do the work or do
you let them do it?
Here is the context, due to my garage, everyone I offer to help brings
their vehicles to me to fix. Once there, I do the work for the most part.
I enjoy doing it, so it's no big deal.
But a few people commented that they expected to do most if not all the
work once there.
I understand that they may enjoy working on the cars as well, but here is
my thought about it...
One, since it's my garage, I know where every tools, part, etc is located.
I know what I have and don't have. When doing the work, I know what
equipment I have will work the best for the situation.
Also, I also know where to put everything back when I'm done.
This is the fastest and most effective way to do the work in my opinion.
I realize that this takes away their ability to learn through first hand
experience, but I do include them in the work when possible.
So, what is the proper way to handle this? Is it a "home rule" thing, or
a should I step aside and let them do all the work?
One more thing, if they are doing the work and break something on their
car that requires a trip to the auto parts store, I now have to drive them
there (this I don't like.) At least if I break it, I don't mind the trip
as much.
What's your take?
