Pretty big shop. Had to take the damn sunroof off an X5. Jesus, that thing's a pain in the ass. Biggest fscking sunroof I've ever seen. Oh, and aparently I'm a frog.

I hate it when mechanics return my car with the drivers seat moved and reclined, and the rearview and side mirrors adjusted.

Sorry. We can't help it. There's just so much crap going on there, the seats are the least of our concerns. We have to move them so we can get the head-rests off, otherwise we can take off half the crap in there.

But, if they're just doing a tire-rotation or something else on the outside, then I couldn't imagine why anyone would move it.

Applied there, got the job. Grand Touring Cars in London, Ontario, Canada.

I'm not actually a frog. I'm fully bilingual and have been for 14 years; they assumed I was from Quebec/Montreal, but I corrected them. I'm not really a frog.

You want pictures of a ripped apart X5? Wouldn't be too attractive. Plus, it was dirty.

Would you prefer that they back into a pole because they're squished against the steering wheel and can't see anything in the mirrors?

LoKe shouldn't run into that problem much. If his customers have a newer BMW, their seats and mirror positions should be programmed into memory. Hell, if it works anything like the Audi seat memory system, they'll automatically move back into position when they unlock their car doors with the remote control.

Not that I noticed, but mind you, I was only working on a 2004. I'll keep a look-out.

There's no such thing as a mechanic's licence- at least not in the USA. You just have to be properly insured and compliant with all local buisness regulations (zoning, etc)
