Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences
My experience with auto mechanics has varied from bad to awful. On the basis of my experience I would say they are ‘crooks’ first and ‘mechanics’ a distant second. Not only have I been lied to and ‘ripped off,’ but I am certain problems were deliberately created on a number of occasions over the years. I have some knowledge about these things and an ‘average’ person would never even begin to suspect some of the things I am virtually certain they do routinely.
Also, it is not just a matter of money. Traffic accidents are a major source of death and injury in our society, and I am virtually certain that crooked or incompetent mechanics and garage owners are partially responsible for some of the bloodshed and suffering associated with traffic accidents.
However, auto mechanics are merely part of a corrupt and heartless system. I know a woman who had an expensive car that tended to die in traffic. The dealer and some other mechanic could not find the problem, and the dealer gave her a very good deal if she would buy another car. She decided to have a relative sell the car for her without telling the buyer the reason the car was being sold. I said to her: “You are afraid to drive this car and yet you plan to sell it to an unsuspecting stranger? What if the buyer has an accident and loses his life because he is unaware of the problem?” Her answer? “Tough.”
