highly disagree, my mom's mechanic died a millionaire, home boy had a random heart attack.
i know hick dominicans coming straight from da island, to a random mom and pop shop on Jerome ave in da BX making bread, and be situated in 6 months, at, whip, random chick knocked up, coppin bottles in lounges barely knowin English.
da money is definitely there.
Millionaire? Doubt it....but yes, there has been a market for mechanics with their own shops, specially in the BX, those days are counted my dude...most people either get fed up with the idea of being up at the mechanic every other month for a different issue on their used car and go get a car under warranty straight from the dealer, or they just learn to maintan their own car, so the days when a mechanic can guess game whatever is wrong with your car, charge you and you back to square 1 in 3 days having to go back to that mechanic to spend more money are OVER.
like i said, u lost b... every company public or private that owns a fleet of vehicles that needs routine maintenance will either have their own in-house mechanic shop or will outsource da work to mechanics. there are millions of of these cars & trucks running around...u think these operations depending on "YouTube videos" to service their fleets?
then private ownership market who depends on independent shops, dealerships, etc.
then da lease/rental market who also depend on da same network of dealerships, independent shops, etc.
and i aint even get into da autoparts industry which is its own universe, whether junkyard salvage yards, recycling & demolition of automobiles, da raw materials field, etc.
u literally talking to me like if this was da movie industry and you're trying to convey how "if you're not a actor they're no point in doing nothing in movies"..nah b.. there's a whole universe in da auto industry.
