For me, alot of my troubleshooting skills was 25% learning and the rest was time... technology changes so fast that you dont have time to keep up.. its experience and seeing a multitude of different problems and learning from them.

Technology is changing so fast on the vehicles these days. It's hard to keep up. Just wait when most cars go to the 48 volt electrical system.

There’s just no room to grow at my current job since the new guy is now the service manager and my brother is the assistant manager. I’m just not happy being able to not do anything more. I want to improve but there’s nowhere I can go here. Sorry if I was repetitive.

Anywho, spent my tax refund on a new stereo set up for the house. Lolol

You don't need a scanner. You will be using the Nissan Consult 2 or 3. Whatever version they are on now. Tools take time to get. You get what you use most and that will make you faster.

Not around here. You buy your own tools and work on part hr. for pay. If your wrenches aren't turning you are not making any money. So, if a job pays 4 hrs and you do it in 2hrs. Better for you. If a motor swap pays 15hrs and you do it in 20hrs. You get paid for 15hrs. If you are sitting around doing nothing due to it being Christmas, etc. You make nothing.
