The thing that gets me is.. if i dont fix it the first time i have to fix it for free the next time.
or for example the car comes in for a tune up and then i push it back to the customer.. sorry there were "complications" you need to call a tow truck.

thats the stuff that gets me. the doctors get paid wether they fix your or not. they dont give you any warentee and if they have a comeback you get to pay twice as much!!!

do they deserve to make more money then me, YES but should i have to pay twice for the misdiagnosis? NO!

thats it, JOSH

I'll tell you what, the glory days of being a doctor are over. For starters, with student loans, a number of years in med school and residency and then the fun of paying it all off, you're not going to be keeping any real money until well into your 30's. On top of that, you have the high cost of insurance and have to deal with crappy insurance companies grinding down on the prics, paying slowly and constantly throwing red tape at you. You can have it!

around here most "mechanics" are just able to plug the car into a machine and read what it says, and then repairs/replaces the part. i would MUCH rather take my car to a shirtless ,greasy, hillbilly mechanic then to a dealership. im sure im not the only one.

I was going to be a doctor. But I could never get the handle on being able to play golf with a pager on my belt.

Take a broken car to your mechanic. Tell him you don’t have any insurance and you can’t afford to pay him. Demand him to fix your car for free. Don’t worry about what time it is, or what his shop hours are. Just tow your car in at any time of the night and have him woken up and forced to drive in to fix your car right then.

Once it’s fixed (for free) linger around his shop complaining for a long time before you go home. Treat him like dirt and remind him that if he isn’t nice, you’ll sue him. If any of your kids are lawyers, then have them drop by and ask the mechanic a bunch of questions to make sure he isn’t ripping you off with his free service.

After you finally go home, call the mechanic every night at 2AM for a week. Ask him questions like, “What kind of oil should I put in my car?” and other things like that, which could have been looked up on the internet. When the mechanic returns your call, be sure to write down their home/cell phone number from your caller ID. That way you can call him directly in the future, even when he isn’t on call.

A few years later, if anything goes wrong with your car you should sue that mechanic (that you never paid). Drag him into court and put him through the emotional stress of feeling like he did a bad job, when he was only trying to help you & your car.
