Do Most Mechanics Do This? (Fix Parts ISO Replacing)

Unknown. This is why I stopped taking any of my cars to have anybody else work on them unless absolutely necessary. I do it myself or it doesn’t get done.

I’ve been screwed over by “part swappers” too many times. (Well, like twice. That’s too many for me!) They cure symptoms for a little while but never fix the problem. That and their shitty attitudes. I tell them, “I’ve got this 1988 Ford F-250…” and they butt in with, “Gee! That’s too old! Why don’t you get a newer truck?”

:rolleyes: Fuck off, Jr.

Bolding mine.

I hear you talking. Try saying “I’ve got this 1948 Willys CJ-2A, or I’ve got this 1959 Ford F-250”. The response is almost word for word what you quoted. Do you ever tell them the truth, or do you just walk away from their question? I usually walk away, they do not want an honest answer anyway.

Missed the damn edit window!!
