[QUOTE="dodgerammit, post: 441988, member: 21375"] This. These statements right here. I've heard from so many mechanics as to why they did it the way they wanted to, when I requested something totally different. Too many times, I've been very dissatisfied by the rush job style repair once I got my ride back. This is exactly why I do my own repairs now. Even trusted mechanics I've used have cut corners on things that needed done properly just to save some time. The issue with that is, that cut corner often needs addressed soon afterwards. The big issue now with repair shops is the company that owns them keeps crunching the timeframe unrealistically to do the repair. They don't offer the same incentives anymore if you 'beat' the clock. This has led to many good mechanics leaving altogether. That leaves you with the hack jobs doing the wrenching. I've heard it said, "Nobody cares like you do." and that is true. You can do a quickie repair and it be up to your standards. That's totally cool. I prefer to do it right and do it once. That's what I want. Should I need to get in later, I appreciate previous me doing things right and taking the 'small extras' like anti seize on threads, and repainted bare metal spots. [/QUOTE]
