I'm just stating the obvious, just ask anyone going to automotive school or who works for a reputable dealership. Initially it was a joke and now it's a debate.

"Technician". Possibly the most Bastardized term in the dictionary nowadays. "Raped" might be more accurate. Union's are the worst offenders. Second only to "Trade schools" to prop up their marketability.

My dad used to joke, "Instead of a raise, how about a new title? How's this sound? "__________ Technician"!
