An honest question...
Can someone tell me why it is so freaking hard to find an honest mechanic? Or why car manufactures make the Check Engine light go one because the stupid external themometer that tells you the outside temperature is broken leading to you dropping $200 bucks because you have to fix it or when there is a serious problem causing the check engine light to come on, you'll miss it?
How about two lights. One, "Something stupid is broken that you probably don't give a crap about" and "Something is seriously wrong, take the care in so a mechanic can juice you for every penny you have and give you the car back in worse condition then when you brought it in."
I got 140,000 miles on my truck, runs great, but has stupid shit wrong with it that takes multiple trips to the mechanic just to get them to confirm that what I told them was wrong, is in fact wrong.
How many more trips and how much more money does it take to get them to actually FIX something?

We found a mechanic in our church. He may charge more than others, but he does not charge for what does not need fixing. He has saved on life at least once.
