Automechanic Aprentice? Doesn't sound right.

[ILOVETHIS]

My buddy got a call from a friend that they know somebody that owns a shop. Their apprentice got into an accident and they need somebody ASAP.

They would hire him no questions asked and pay him since they need somebody to help. Was told the owner/mechanic would teach him the ropes and help get his license. This doesn't sound right to me, he doesn't even know him or met him and is willing to do this. I'm guessing the wants somebody for the time being to be a helping hand and when his apprentice is ready then he gets his spot back since he is finding it hard to fill this position.

Depending on jurisdiction, mechanics require papers to do certain types of automotive work. An apprentice can be anyone. It may be the boss needs someone fast to assist around the shop. whether he come through on his promise to make the assistant a mechanic, only time will tell. To be a mechanic you have to log in the necessary hours to take the next step.

Of course it doesn't sound right; it's missing a "p".
