This isn't always the case, but I've run into many mechanics or just anyone in general who's been in the same field for 25 plus years. They're always right, you can't tell them anything, it's their way or not at all. etc. In my opinion you can never be in an industry too long to not learn something new. Reminds me of a job that I worked at and I really wanted to work on the pumps, but the mechanic was impossible to work with. it was his way or no way at all. People complained I was slow, well you have me taking apart a 20 year old rusted out pump with a 9/16" open end/box end wrench that I have to hit with a hammer to break all the bolts loose and prey they don't round off. Why not let me spray it down with some pb blaster, do something else and come back in 30 minutes and buzz them off with the impact wrench? Nope..... Main reason why I work for myself now. Customers tell me what they want done and I figure out my own way to get the job done. (Oops maybe I'm becoming one of them) haha
