In the book Blue Highways, the author shared his advice. The dirtiest, greasiest shop with 4 year old calendars on the wall were usually the best mechanics.

A friend of my dad had a shop like that and he was a brilliant mechanic and one of the nicest people you could meet.

He took a job as an advisor for some construction equipment builder. He is called on when the builders and engineers can’t figure out the problems of the equipment they created.
