Some shops just need to close period. For not legitimately fixing cars or cutting corners to save a buck.

Some shops need to keep it real when it comes to what’s really needed to be done. Instead on getting over on people that don't know anything when it comes to cars.

Is there going to be any factual information to substantiate any of this, or should this thread just be closed for lack of... really any merit whatsoever?

For what its worth, I love my mechanic. The golden rule for a mechanic is to bring them a case of beer when you drop the car off.. Works every time.
