You guys have just told the story of how I became a mechanic when I was a teenager. Too many ham handed incompetent scobes that charged plenty and did a lousy job of repairing anything at best.
I found out early that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. I remember working in a few shops where the "flat rate artists" would short cut every job to beat the book time.

No room for compromise there.
It will be a cold day in hades before I let one of those ham-handed idiots touch my car!
