Unlike you lucky fellers, Our local mechanics seem to be all hacks. I had my Tercel brought in for an oil change a few years back, and when I got home, I saw a puddle under the car. I was able to unscrew the oil plug with my fingers! the guy offered me more free oil changes...HA! That is when I decided if I wanted it done right, do it myself! Also had an AC unit replaced by another local hack (compressor lock) but still had cold air. When he was done, I had no cold air, a leaky new compressor, AND told me I needed a new evaporator(which I didn't) AND wanted 400 more dollars! I told him where to go and since had myself certified in auto A/C. Found out the only problem was loose compressor casing bolts!
