AutoShopOwner - Automotive Management Network: Car Doctor - AutoShopOwner - Automotive Management Network

A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a car when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the Garage.

"Hey, Doc, want to take a look at this?"

The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the engine.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its' heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic..........

"Try doing it with the engine running."

I think the doctor has it easier.... he only has two models to work with and his equipment keeps improving... wish I had that kind of luck... LOL
