Replying to: 0patience (Oct 22, 2007 3:36 pm) No, I am not a dealer mechanic. I don't do my own plumbing, or auto repair(even though I could do that)   You are also not paying attention to what I am saying. If you own an older car, taking it to a competent independent mechanic isn't a bad idea.   For newer cars, esp lux cars given their complexity it is BEST to have the dealer service and repair them. Now, almost anyone can change oil, but most people cannot deal with the complex electronics of modern cars. I have simply seen too many people who thought they could fix their own cars screw them up. We had a guy who had an indy stereo company replace the sound system in his S60R, which isn't easy to do. Fried his entire wiring harness, which is easy to do. Bottom line, if you have a 10 yr old Honda, anyone can fix it. But, if you spend big boy money on a big boy car,spend a little extra and have the people who are trained to deal with it, fix it.

Replying to: rider62 (Nov 25, 2007 6:51 pm) maybe so, maybe not. The machine is only as good as the person operating it, or as they say: "Data is not knowledge".

Replying to: rider62 (Nov 25, 2007 6:51 pm) Really? What proof do you have for this assertion?
