Saw a mobile mechanic swap a transmission in a parking lot last week

I was grabbing lunch near a Home Depot in Fort Worth and this guy had a full transmission swap going on in like 2 hours flat. He was using a transmission jack from his van and had everything laid out on a tarp. Honestly I thought mobile guys just did oil changes and belt replacements. He said he does 3 or 4 of these a month for fleet trucks. Anyone else seen mobile guys pull off big jobs like that?

Saw a guy in Austin swap a whole engine on a curb once, had it running by sundown... some of these mobile guys are way more skilled than you'd think.
