[DML] "Professional" Mechanics

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my life no matter where I've lived or what vehicle I've owned at 
the time, from my 1964 IH Scout, to my 2 Chevy Trackers, to my 2002 
PT Cruiser and including my DeLorean, EVERY single "professional" 
ASE certified mechanic has caused more damage to my vehicle than 
repair.

So why do I continue to go there? Because I'm an idiot. I keep 
thinking "they can't all be this incompetent."

A smiple task, To wit;

Sir, I have two lugnuts on my DeLorean that have become too tight 
for me to break loose. Can you put your impact gun on them for 
me? "Sure" he says. The guy spins them loose and promptly 
overtightens them with the pneumatic impact gun. I now have one 
stripped lugnut that I can't get off.

I do solemnly swear that I will never trust a gas station mechanic 
again as long as I live.
