Mechanic,

Every day is a new puzzle that at the end of the day fits into the box exactly as it should.

No matter how out there and strange the problem always makes sense at the end. It's so rewarding

Not to mention people are optional. Some of the best mechanics i know don't talk to customers they have a receptionist who deals with that

    They're typically called Service Managers, not receptionists.

    The good ones do a lot more than take info and pass it between the mechanics and customers. They know a lot about troubleshooting and can help give a ballpark estimate on cost and time. They also typically sell the general stuff like tires, brakes, batteries, etc.

    Tho in some places they actually make more than the mechanics, cause they're there to upsell, not assist. You want to avoid those places as much as possible.

    The great service managers know what questions to ask. Customers say the dumbest things. It's the difference between a mechanic getting"Customer states it makes a womph womph sound sometimes." and "Customer states it makes a Womph Womph sound when they're trying to get on the highway." The first one could be anything the second one points to a transmission problem. The mechanic still needs to diagnose it, that's not the service managers job but they can make it a lot easier.
