I=E2=80=99ve done it all the ways listed. I=E2=80=99ve always had broken too=

if they break them or not.=20
You didn=E2=80=99t specify if you were charging for your shop. That can make=
a difference.=20

When someone brings their vehicle to your garage, do you do the work or do y=

I understand that they may enjoy working on the cars as well, but here is my=

One, since it's my garage, I know where every tools, part, etc is located. I=

Also, I also know where to put everything back when I'm done.=20
This is the fastest and most effective way to do the work in my opinion.=20
I realize that this takes away their ability to learn through first hand exp=
erience, but I do include them in the work when possible.=20
So, what is the proper way to handle this? Is it a "home rule" thing, or a s=
hould I step aside and let them do all the work?=20
One more thing, if they are doing the work and break something on their car t=
hat requires a trip to the auto parts store, I now have to drive them there (=
this I don't like.) At least if I break it, I don't mind the trip as much.=20=
What's your take?=20
