Anybody Work as a Mechanic?

My first post here… longtime lurker.

Anyway, I recently started work at a shop, just doing oil changes, tires, stuff like that. This is my first job in the automotive industry, but I’ve been working on my own cars for a couple years (I’ve got a 95 accent and a 78 Mustang II with a twin turbo 351). Does anybody in the field have any tips or advice for a shop noob?

Don’t talk back even if you think they’re wrong… especially at this stage… learn as much as you can from your boss. No different from any other job but how much you’ll learn etc… depends on the shop owner and his/her attitude
