Re: The Truth About The Auto Repair Industry

Very good advice.
The flat rate system is ripe for abuse. As a mechanic apprentice back in the late 80's the most vauable things I learned were not about diagnosis, but the short cuts to save time and do a job quicker, (but not necessarily better).
I got out of the industry because it's exploitive and depressing, although a lot of that was related to the poorly- run GM dealership I worked at.
