Over the years I’ve been able to save untold amounts of money on car maintenance and minor repairs, and it’s all thanks to my dad. Ever since I can remember, he’s been sneaking away to his garage to tinker with a classic muscle car or to do a favor for a friend who had just experienced an automotive breakdown. I’ve always said that the only thing that separates him from being a genuine mechanic is that there’s no office – and definitely no paperwork.
That’s not to say the garage doesn’t look like a real auto shop. Dad has collected all the tools of the trade and has them carefully lined up along a tool bench. Even the walls are decorated with old automobile tin signs, advertising products that no longer exist anywhere but inside an aging mechanic’s fondest memories. Every year I find a few new signs online and bring them to his garage in person.
