[quote=werewolf34]Truth is kids play video games and don’t learn mechanical skills. Why do you think mechanics can charge 70-100/hr in a recession?[/quote]
Way to generalize. Kids learning or not learning mechanical skills have nothing to do with the rates mechanics charge. The rates is purely market driven (supply and demand). People can do A LOT of the maintenance and repair themselves, but they choose not to. I start to help my dad work on his car when I was in HS and start modifying my own car when I was in college. Kids play video games because the parents let them. Where do you think they get the money to buy those video games?
