I don't want to start an arguement or debate here, (so please, lets not go there),but I used to be on the other side of the fence, so to speek. I was a mechanic for seventeen years, and always hated for the customer to "tell" me what was wrong with his car or truck, and "tell" me what to do about it. I always worked better when he would tell me what it "acted" like. When he "asked" me if I thought I could do this or that. I would bend over backwards to help the customer that was nice and polite to me. The ones that were demanding and rude, well, what goes around, comes around.
Don't let your mechanic treat you like you are a stupid nobody. Don't let him pull the wool over your eyes. But treat him with the same respect you want to be treated with also. Granted there are exceptions to every rule, but in general, you take care of your mechanic, he'll take care of you.
