On this week’s episode of Grease the Wheels, we do our own version of ‘how to make friends and influence people.’ Helping to hang a set of exhaust is always going to be appreciated, but being forthcoming with helping other people will signify you as someone who can be depended on in the shop. We also talk about some of the karmic ramifications of tool loaning and just helping people out in general without the expectation of something in return. When all else fails, feeding people is an awesome way to get people to listen in a pinch, and Jimmy’s GM makes Pavlov proud. Being inviting to the new people in your shop is always a good way to start a relationship off on the right foot, and we get into the idea that everyone deserves a baseline level of respect that can either go up or down depending on your interactions. 

Also Uncle Jimmy avoids being Dr. Ruth.
