Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:And this week is National Automotive Service Professionals Week, which is basically a reminder to thank the people that stand between you and inexpensive walk home.
Speaker A:The week was created by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, or ace, to recognize those technicians, mechanics and specialists who keep America's vehicles running.
Speaker A:Takes place the second week of June.
Speaker A:And to be fair, I don't know that modern mechanics get nearly enough credit, because when we think of the term mechanic, we think about someone changing oil or replacing brake pads, and sure, that happens.
Speaker A:But meanwhile, today's vehicles are rolling computers, hundreds of sensors, miles of wiring, and enough software to crash like a Windows update.
Speaker A:These folks diagnose problems based on things.
Speaker B:Like, it made a weird noise when I turned left after Taco Bell.
Speaker A:The average American depends on their vehicle every day.
Speaker A:Work, school, groceries, road trips, doctor's appointments.
Speaker A:And if.
Speaker A:If mechanics stopped showing up tomorrow, I think society would be completely unraveled by about Monday.
Speaker A:So if you have a good mechanic, if you have a good mechanic, maybe tell them thank you this week because they're one of the few people that you trust with a machine worth about as much as your first house in many cases.
