Re: [DML] new tech site

Hi Marvin, not much changes, the fixers fix and the non fixers don't fix. The advantage to the non fixer is that when you take your car is in for repair you know when someone is giving you a story about what needs to be done. When you don't know anything about what needs to be done you can often be led down a very expensive garden path. Mechanics couldn't care less what you screw up trying to do it yourself, that's where some of the big money is, your guilt allows them a very large pencil while figuring
your bill. Basic fear keeps non fixers at bay, the bolder one's pay the price for their daring.

What percent of owners will now attempt to fix their own cars rather than flatbed or drive to a recognized expert? I ask these questions because very knowledgeable people donate many, many hours in free advice to those of us who are stuck with a problem or two. I would not want them to lose income or clients or be "turned off".
