MECANICUCHO

A derogatory term for a hack mechanic in the Dominican Republic who pokes around cars but never fixes the actual problem because he is just a part-swapper. He lies constantly, usually breaking more parts than he repairs because he has no clue what he is doing. He is famously arrogant despite his ignorance and typically wears oversized white sneakers. Most are self-taught, having started as shop assistants in informal backyard garages, and if you are not careful, he will completely screw you over.

The MECANICUCHO says: Brother, uh, look, this car has a little problem. The client: But that is why I brought it to you, brother, what is wrong with it? The MECANICUCHO: A little round black thingy burned out, the one that goes under a red square piece.

Mecanico

A guy with a massive gut who fixes cars and tells you the vehicle has about ten more problems than you thought.

Mecanico: Bro, your transmission and brakes are failing. Sucker: But I only brought it in for an oil change. Mecanico: Yeah, but as the "responsible" Mecanico I am, I cannot let you drive around like that. Sucker: Oh, all right then, fix it.

Mecanico

In Santo Domingo, this is the place you take your car to be repaired. The catch is that every time you go for a minor issue, ten more things mysteriously break. You take your car in working fine and it comes out worse.

I took my car in for an oil change, and that shameless guy told me the car had pipe issues and I was going to have to pay a lot of money to fix it.
