I have never, ever ever heard of someone tipping a mechanic. I know several mechanics, and grew up around car dealerships / garages and have never seen someone

  I assure you that it is a thing. I had a hole-in-the-wall Volvo mechanic for like 10 years that I tipped religiously. But, like, at a dealership service center? Never. You can Google to instantly find people talking about this. Again, there is a soft norm of tipping in pretty much all blue-collar personalized services. Meaning: you don't have to tip, you're not going to get side-eye if you don't tip, but it's worth knowing that some people do tip.
