I didn't start the thread with intentions of getting a pissing match going. I just read it thought it would be beneficial information, especially for those who know very little about cars/car repairs. I never meant to imply that all mechanics were thieves/dishonest, because I've known some very good and honest mechanics, but I've also seen some that were exactly the opposite. I know from my own experience of working on my own cars it's not an easy job and you run into unexpected problems on 75% or more repairs you make. Usually if someone is asking if they can make their own repairs I tell them if they can use creative thinking to overcome unexpected problems, can do the diagnosis, and turn a wrench they can probably do their own repairs. If they can't do these three things leave it to someone who knows how.
