Automobile Philosophy

Mechanics have their uniforms when they work on cars, much as doctors and nurses would. An auto-mechanic isn’t going to wear a surgical uniform like one of these http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/ but he will wear a durable jumpsuit for getting dirty down under your car. But surprisingly, scrubs for men are often very durable, made from cotton that’s treated with Teflon to make them easy to keep clean. In this article, we discuss the parallels between auto mechanics – your car’s “doctors” and surgical staff and lab technicians – the people who work on your body.

Mens lab coats are easily recognizable. They’re white to serve as a reminder of cleanliness. Indeed, no one would want a doctor to work on them with stains on his coat. Likewise, sometimes it’s good for a mechanic to keep clean when visiting with customers. It’s that added bit of professionalism that separates a used car lot from an Audi dealership.

What else do surgeons use? Well, they have scalpels and other medical instruments to do their jobs. Each instrument has a specific purpose – to make incisions, to seal wounds, to investigate problems. A doctor will take the time to probe his patient and find exactly what needs to be fixed before making that first cut. And a mechanic? Well, a good one will do that too.

When you seek out your next auto technician, compare him to a lab tech and see if they have similarities. Ask yourself, “would I trust this guy to work on my car in the same way that I trust my doctor to work on me?”
