Whatever Happened to Pops
He was the guy who knew everything about every car that rolled through the door. The guy who could reassemble a carb blindfolded. Who could set timing by ear and find a friction point by smell. When he talked, the other techs listened – hard. What he said took him years to learn but only seconds to tell. Nobody knew his real name. They all just called him Pops.
Too much information? Nah!
It’s difficult to find a Pops anymore. It just got too darn hard for him to keep up. Models change on a yearly, if not monthly, basis. Parts change even faster. And collision repairs are now more of a science than an art; a world where structural specifications meet safety standards meet repair part capabilities. With a dose of insurance company requirements thrown in for good measure. It’s just too much for one person to master.
That’s why Junior and Sonny and all the rest of the Pops-wannabes are hooked into MoparRepairConnection.com. It’s home to the same information that Chrysler Group techs receive. The same articles, publications and repair manuals that every dealership body shop relies upon every day.
MoparRepairConnection.com is the best source for up-to-date information on:
-
• Non-structural sheet metal
