You may encounter a bit of rejection for some reason but know that this is also common. No one wants to seem greedy or waiting for your extra money. If this is the case, just politely leave the money, thank them, say they deserve it, and be on your way.
This makes tipping a bit harder since the paying point is usually separated from the workshop. Maybe a bit old-school but very effective. This is a very subjective opinion but tipping the company and the mechanic who actually did the job will never be the same nor will it have the same meaning. All the people working there are usually better connected.
In a lot of cases, the person who did the repair may be the one charging the bill. Such is the case if you have your own good and trustworthy mechanic. Never do it in such a way that it can be wrongly interpreted like pushing money into a pocket while no one else sees.
The best way to do this is to give the tip in front of someone else like a supervisor, clerk, fellow mechanic, or else. You can, however, take steps to recognize a mechanic's above-and-beyond efforts. In her etiquette column on Good Housekeeping's website, expert Peggy Post reports that it's not necessary to tip people in the repair and installation industries.
She notes that people in these industries, unlike serving staff at a restaurant, don't rely on tips as a key part of their income. The Emily Post Institute, an etiquette organization at which Peggy Post serves as director, doesn't list mechanics as people you'd typically tip either after receiving a service or around the holidays.
During a radio interview with Carson Daly, The Emily Post Institute spokesperson Anna Post said she'd "never seen a situation" in which someone might tip a mechanic. Although Peggy Post doesn't advocate tipping repair people in her Good Housekeeping column, she notes that it's appropriate to give a tip if you feel the person greatly exceeded your expectations.
In the case of a mechanic, consider if the mechanic was overly friendly or performed the work quickly and under budget. Because tipping mechanics isn't required, there's no set amount you should tip.
They didn't charge me a penny! When he told me this over the phone, I was astonished. They get paid a lot for their time, and they could have spent that time earning money by fixing someone else's car.
I decided to insist they take some money. But when I got there, it occurred to me that it might seem ungrateful of me, or insulting, so I chickened out and thanked them too many times and left. The next day I brought them a homemade chocolate cake, and thanked them again. But I wonder if I'm ignorant of some code or courtesy that would make a tip appropriate.
Please advise! A mechanic might be uncomfortable accepting a cash gratuity, but no one will ever turn down chocolate cake! RAY: Wait, Kyleleen.
