The front end of all mechanics shops I have been in for the past decade look just like the waiting room of a doctors office.
In reality, mechanics do book keeping, track inventory, take order, organize excel files, and ask customers to sign contracts just like any other business. Thus their front ends look just like any other.

They could just drop it in a well designed template.
Also the idea that aesthetics and engineering cannot be conjoined is disproved in both Ferraris and 3D graphic programming.
- manwe150 4y agoI can't decide if this says more about the doctors you visit or the mechanics. There are also CVS minute-clinic doctors near me, where the "front-end waiting room" is the CVS store. There similarly are mechanics near me where the "front-end waiting room" is the gas station it is connected to.
- dismantlethesun 4y agoProbably regional differences. I live out in a rural township / suburb. If nothing else, we don’t lack for land to have waiting rooms. The CVS had a waiting room too until Covid.
- bluedays 4y agoIf your mechanic looks like a doctors office they’re more than likely ripping you off. The best mechanics are smaller shops that don’t have time to make their waiting room look that nice.
- dismantlethesun 4y agoFrom talking with the abode poster I think the problem is that my doctors room doesn’t look fancy, not that my mechanics office looks too nice.
