Hi all,
Been looking for this post. Had trouble finding it because of the multiple hijacks.
Change of the subject title did not help much.

And you know that for a fact? Were you there to witness the diagnosis? Do you know what the shop found?

Are you suggesting I was right in asking about the rationale the shop used?
TheLSS wrote:
........ the up selling that your previous mechanic did is not unusual. We all like to pocket a little extra cash, and make the garage some money too. It makes our bosses happy, and if your boss is happy, so are you ........
OK. You are participating in a dishonest operation. How does that make the shop in question, less than reputable?

........ I know these things, I work with mechanics, and I am soon to be one myself ........
I read your introductory thread. I see no reason to comment further.
TheLSS wrote:
........ Although this occasion was more dishonest then just trying to sell a customer something for preventative maintenance ........
More dishonest?

Accept what? Have I not accepted anything? Have you read something I did not write?

And I couldn't?
I was not there at the time. That would be the reason for my questions. Or "flames" as you prefer to call them.
We are trying to work with less information than is required to make accurate judgments. What he may have been told by that "dishonest" shop might be the key to solving his problem.

Interesting statement.
Those who participate in the "lowlife" practice of insults and name calling, seem to be the same ones that invite one and all to flame them in return.

........ And 88 Coupe, I look forward to the many arguments that you will cause and/or have caused because of your poor attitude towards other people. I also look forward to defending those poor people who's life you have belittled for no real good reason. I hope to talk to you again soon.
Arguments that I cause?
My poor attitude?
Defending those poor people?
I have belittled?
For no reason?
Why does the name "Don Quixote" come to mind?
