Phoenix may be the most efficient mechanic in the shop.
Woopsies… This might be the most unexpectedly efficient tool ever used in a car repair shop.
Dig out this mechanic who trained his pup named Phoenix to assist with repairs by holding the flashlight exactly where it is needed.
Instead of balancing a light against the hood, asking somebody nearby for help or attempting to see into the engine bay through pure determination, the mechanic simply calls over his four-legged assistant.
