I feel that this "age of electronics" has a lot to do with the situation. So many today feel that if you can't push a button and make it happen, then they don't want to fool with it. Maybe I should have said, "age of button pushers", because today most things depend on electronics of some type to run. When I went to work at a dealership in '93, there were, If I remember correctly, eight service bays. We had three steady, dependable techs, and the rest of the bays were like revolving doors. Some would stay six months to a year and then find what they thought was greener grass somewhere else. Another thing is, you can't buy an old clunker and pull it under a shade tree in the back yard and learn to work on it anymore because of all the govt. required junk on them. I never was a professional auto mechanic, but I learned enough to get by from reading Hot Rod Magazine, and Motors repair manuals.
