working at the same job for 27 years and at 61 keino reman thinks ijes still got a few good work years ahead of him jthe father of four works in the service department at giles ghevolds main street west stouffville and hes been there since the car dealerships founder ross giles rescued him from his long drive to work at a toronto garage in 1961 but he could have just as easily been a farmer when i came to canada in 1951 it was under the condition that i work as a farmer he recalls i was a farmers son in estonia and i had worked oh my fathers farm until i left home at 16 after working several years on a farm on the sixth cone just north of stouffville road keino moved to toronto and served as 3n auto mechanics appren ticeship at a garage at york and adelaide streets new job he moved back to stouffville in 1958 but continued to make the long drive to work in the city he was delighted when the elder giles approached him t i was fed up with driving back and forth from stouffville to toronto keino savs and while there have been changes during his 27 years at giles his first service manager jim brown is still on the job but the cars reino works on have changed drastically he says the electrical end of todays cars is much more difficult than it once was now with these transmissions and electrical igni tions you have to have your books with you when you repair them he believes mechanics are given neither the financial reward nor the overall respect they deserve its a tough profession he says you have to go back for retraining at least twice a year plumbers electricians carpenters even bus drivers make more than a mechanic keino says the profession is on ly for those who are really in terested and dedicated making progress and its probably best to learn one manufacturers make of car only the days of a mechanic be ing able to work on allmakes are gone he says it can be hard enough learning about just one make of car all the cars have different specs i dont think even super man could fix all makes he noted keino claims he enjoys his work and the people with whom he comes in contact i try to explain to the customers what ive done he says most are understanding and appreciate what youve done for them he says todays customer is basically the same as the customer of yesteryear but he says customers could understand their cars better when the designs were simpler back then you could do a basic reair with binder twine but today cars are just too complicated better cars hes a firm believer in pro gress however as it has applied to the automobile todays car goes much longer between servicing he explains in the old days a tire would last 20000 miles tops today you can get up to 60000 miles out of a tire and keino acknowledges that todays driver will rack up 40000 or 50000 miles in a year he feels that preventive maintenance is still the most im portant part of car care as in the past keinos work these days is restricted mostly to light work such as tires lube and oil changes electrical wiring and light bulbs and the arduous drive to work is a thing of the past ever since 1967 he has lived in the apart ment above the dealership keino has two sons who work in the stouffville area mike works twentyseven years later keino reman is still fixing cars at giles chevouis on main st a native of estonia keino originally
