We have trans pan and engine cover bolts made of aluminum, they torque to like 5nm, as in not a lot. I can't count how many times I've had to help those guys back out a broken bolt with a pick.
It's a different mindset with these younger guys. They find humor in mistakes, laughing when a screw driver goes though a $1000 radiator. We all just shake our heads and try to keep the shop in one piece.
I would assume a Toyota shop is primarily younger guys. We only have 2 to content with. |
My Toyota shop is mostly older guys. Canada has a much stricter training and licensing program for techs though so most of the younger guys are a lot more careful. You do not want to lose your apprenticeship and several thousand dollars you have invested in schooling fees because you put a screwdriver through one too many rads.
