Do you guys tip your mechanics ?

Just curious. My mechanic always takes cares of me and helll.....I drive 1.5 hrs for simple things like getting a spare patched. I tip him during the holidays or when I'm feeling like I can spare a little tip but I always bring him different exotic beers and leave it in the passengers seat for him and his partner. Just picked up abt $90 of beer (6 varities / 2 each).

I think these little things go a LONG way for me to show my appreciation.

Thats a nice thing to do. I like it when people tip me.
Just remember to give him the beer after he works on your car.

I don't tip him but I send him all the business I can because he is damn good.

Unfortunately, I don't have *a* mechanic. There are a couple of places I will take my car if I *have* too, but I've yet to find that one person/shop that I whole-heartedly trust...if I did, I would probably tip as possible.

I do as much as I can with my vehicle on my own, but I know my limits. There have been times when I had a mechanic go above and beyond what I would ever expect him to do, and I gave him a little extra on those occassions. However, I think the best tip anyone could ever give a mechanic was mentioned by Autoeng above.

My parents have a real good mechanic, he used to be mine until I bought a car with warranty, and they always bring the guys donuts and breakfast and stuff like that.
