I'm a "Lube Tech" at SpeeDee Oil Change & Tune-up. I'm not getting paid enough so I'm probably going to work somewhere else soon.

im the "go-to" guy at Jiffy lube.. wich means when someone screws something up and they need it to be fixed, i fix it. im a regular tech at the same time though... but like say someones doing a tire rotation, and strips a stud.. i replace it etc.
