I take it that at least 80% of people that take their cars to a workshop, be it panel, paint or mechanical in some form, lack the ability, tools, time and skills to do the job themselves.
It is unfortunate that the work at times can be performed poorly (and I will be first to admit it happens) , or to a standard that is not of a tradesman, but to paint the picture after 1,2 or even 10 bad experiences that all mechanics are ****ed is completely ridiculous.
How many people come on here and praise the work of their mechanic when a good job has been done? Or they track down a problem that YOU couldn't find?
None.
I work as a truck mechanic, and I get sick and tired of uneducated wankers telling me how a truck works, or whats wrong with (and how to fix) their hydraulics, brakes, trailers etc. How many times do mechanics come on here claiming ALL (or any) customers are ****ed?
Why dont we all complain everytime something goes wrong? I had McDonalds breakfast today, I had to wait longer then my Dad for my food and they had no Orange Juice, so quite obviously EVERY McDonalds is ****ed and no one should ever go there again.
There are avenues that can be taken if work has been performed poorly, one of them most certainly isnt coming onto a website claiming that ALL mechanics are ****ed. What does complaining on an Internet forum achieve anyway?
