    Driving is different. When fixing em it doesn't matter in the repair business honestly

    I used to work at Boyd, what I can tell you is a couple of years ago they only wanted a piss test. If I had to guess I'd say that's probably still the case.

    What if he forgets to hook your brakes up right. Maybe he forgets to torque your steer tire on right. It matters a lot for a mechanic or driver to not be under the influence.

    You are perfectly correct. But some people do it to slow down so they can get and check everything. Rushing work to get the next repair in to make $ is also not good because the same mistakes can happen

    Thanks drag'nfly for the reply. Boyd has many good things going for them, plus I'm young (24) so hard work won't do much. Just want everything to go smoothly

    You do realize he's not toking while fixing up your jake brakes don't you?

    Pot is legal in a few states now and alcohol I believe in many more ... what if a Surgeon smoked or drank a little at the weekend ... you don't want him operating on you on Monday?
