Without researching online or asking someone else, ask yourself what most people think about car mechanics. If you chose the common perception that automotive repair shops and mechanics are untrustworthy, you’re among two-thirds – nearly 67% – of fellow American drivers.
Keep in mind though many stereotypes are not often true they do have some roots to the truth. In general, the same can’t be said for vehicle mechanics.
Because the average American knows little about repairing motor vehicles, being taken advantage of is remarkably easy.
Leadership by Example
Part of fatherhood is leadership. People don’t tend to listen to leaders if they don’t practice what they preach.
Working on cars together forces sons to be around dads, and hopefully take after their dads’ well-disciplined natures.
You Two Could Generate Substantial Revenue
Classic car buyers are often afraid of beat-down, dusty, imperfect vehicles. Why?
Because they could never, ever work, properly fixing up a classic vehicle can help both of you make big bucks – no whammy.
Teaching Self Sufficiency
Perhaps one the best things to come out of fathers and sons working on cars together is that dad can teach their sons to be self-sufficient. If they know how to work on a car themselves, they will learn the value of hard work and saving money.
This will help him to not just rely on themselves, it will make them a more dependable husband and father when he has a family of his own to take care of.
Most People Don’t Trust Mechanics, Anyways
OK, whether the widely-held preconception that a majority of mechanics are untrustworthy, dishonest and misrepresent actual vehicle problems to drivers is true or not, every person should be familiar with the inner workings of vehicles.
Fixing up classic cars between fathers and sons always requires parts to be ordered from reputable shops like Reggie’s Garage, helping young men and adolescents learn vehicles’ ins and outs through self-discovery of learning.
Well-Bonded Sons Likely Perform Better Socially
Without solid social skills, exceeding in life – in whatever world that may be – is difficult. Sons who have close, well-boned relationships with their fathers are more likely to impress others socially, as well as know what to and not to say in various situations.
Both of You Could Drive a Sick Classic Car
Arguably the most common reason why anybody – not just dads and sons – fixes up once-fashionable classic cars is simple… To drive around a sick new (old) vehicle.
Since people typically put their hardest work into their own belongings, you two just might produce hot, smooth classic cars or trucks.
Parental figures’ proper presence in children’s and adolescents’ lives is unarguably positive for their long-term outlooks. Fixing a classic ride between father and son can help net major bucks, boost childhood development, grow closer to sons, and much, much more.
So, if you like working on cars, why not include your son on your next project? It’s a great opportunity to teach him and to spend some quality time together.
