Nobody talks about the nights you stay after closing because you don’t want to leave a job half-finished.
Nobody talks about the pain in your back, the cuts on your hands, or the broken tools you keep using anyway.
But every mechanic knows that quiet moment at 11PM when the shop is empty…
and you’re still there, doing the job because your name is on it.
There’s pride in that loneliness.
A pride only mechanics understand.
