On this week’s GTW were talking about those times at work when you seem to be doing the same things over and over and over again. In all professions, people get into certain grooves and want to do the same things because they have figured out the shortcuts and ways to make the job easier. This gets complicated in the automotive field though because they keep making different kinds of cars with different problems. However, it doesn't take long in some cases for people to figure out exactly what is going to go wrong on some models and figure out easy ways to fix them. Admittedly, it's easier to get into a rut when you’re at a dealership because typically you're working on one type of car. The best example of this is the early Saturn dealers when they had one car, 3 bodies, two engines, and two transmissions. However, does this make you a good mechanic? Life is short so don't spend your time in the rut. We opt for the option of challenging yourself to do something different. The rut can also extend to work that you specifically avoid, such as alignments in climates where rust isn’t just a fact of life, it often ends up being a seasoning on your lunch. Also, Uncle Jimmy talks about the person who was in the worst rut in automotive history, Henry Ford. This episode of Grease the Wheels is sponsored by toolheadzcrate.com.
