Good Thing I slept In.

My wife's rear brakes went out in her Honda. We are replacing them now before heading out. Good thing my son is going to school for automotive repair.

My wife woke my son out of bed and he went right out to start taking things apart.

That's awesome. I love seeing the new generation actually knowing how to do things like this. All hope isnt lost

Thanks. He's knowledge of anything mechanical is incredible. Hopefully, he will stick with automotive repair instead of going into the Special Forces.

I hope he has a jack stand in addition to the jack.  I would never put my legs under like that.

Yes. He had stands underneath. The car all done. He replaced the rotors and checked the parking brake shoes as well. The wife is happy and now we can go hunting.

Keep him interested in the trades. I can't find enough young talent for hvac and all friends in the biz have the same issue. Its across the board all trades.

See,that's what I thought too, but I'm not an auto mechanic and wasn't sure if the regs had relaxed over the years.

If he’s gonna fix cars for a living, tel him to never stop doing back exercises. Ruins your back

Seems like a good kid but that pic scares the hell out of me.
