I don't think our aprentences ever had time to make a brew 
Usually they would be creaming it doing a service for a tech whilst they do another job to keep efficiency up
I would get good at fitting tyres too, every tyre our aprentences did
As for the names and being shouted at, the majority is banter in the motor trade, you just need to take it on the chin, I work in parts and I used to get dry humped, smacked arse, called gay, emo and goth
The shoutings at I can understand not liking, but techs are usually under alot of pressure to achieve target

you'll enjoy it mate dont worry its normal to be nervous but once u've been there a week or 2 and you've made a few mates you'll be able to get ya head down and get stuck in lol
i was the same nervous as hell like 1st day at school
as for ur previous job forget about that your in much better hands now
im just going into my 3rd year of my apprentiship now
i work for a company called stoneacre and the branch / site im based at is suzuki franchised
i go on block release to suzuki college in nottingham a week at a time.
being an apprentice theres expected banter n piss takes but the postives are greater than the negatives :
i get to learn and qualify, enjoy it, good pay compared to most jobs for our age, im 19 on 836 quid basic wage a month then any bonus and overtime (have brung 1200 quid home once  with 200 pound bonus and overtime which i think is fooookin amazing at 19 lol), get to stop in posh hotels a week at a time with all other apprentices from all over country meet some sound lads etc
good luck am sure u'll love it
