Sometimes when I work on a person’s car, they’ll hang out and chat with me.

Afterwards, I’ll finally get a glance of myself in the mirror, and I find it so genuinely adorable that they won’t tell me my face is speckled in car grime lol

Found used parts for two clients today!

Sometimes, parts aren’t available aftermarket, and they need to be salvaged off of other vehicles. I am incredibly grateful for the team at B&R Auto Wrecking. The car I needed to pull a part from had just been moved to the Crush Pile 45 minutes before I arrived. They were amazing enough to pull the car down so that I could get the rod attached to the door handle in my hand.

Thanks to them, my client will be able to open their passenger door from the outside for the first time in a couple of years!

If you ever find yourself needing to get rid of a vehicle that no longer works, please consider salvage yards before scrap metal recyclers (if they don’t offer salvage as well). If a car is recycled, it’s simply crushed and sent to be recycled…the end. However, if it goes to the salvage yard, this gives others a chance to salvage good parts that aren’t able to be found elsewhere before being recycled.

In the past, I’ve had salvage yards be the only reason I’m able to get people’s vehicles back on the road. Selling wrecked or non-running vehicles to the salvage yards gives as much life to car’s parts as possible 🚙🔧❤️

I find myself sipping coffee as I work on my Mobile Mechanic Service website out of a cafe.

"Past lives couldn't ever hold me down..." plays through my earbuds as I sit here feeling emotional and proud to have gone from being deterred from a "man's field" to being self-employed as a trusted and highly recommended mobile mechanic.

(Please note I've reached a point in my life where taking selfies in public by myself feels awkward. My face doesn't nearly express the amount of gratitude and excitement I'm experiencing.)
