[QUOTE="Grow Bag, post: 1459983, member: 19077"] Dealer mechanics are the worst offenders. Generally dealers are interested in moving vehicles and mechanical issues are just a headache, unless they can turn a quick profit. Independent mechanics are mostly cheaper and, because it's their bread and butter, do much better job. Best to get a older car or bike, without the new technology, and learning to service it yourself. I bought a fairly simple machine so I could do all of my own servicing. I never used to, I just made a decision to start doing to it and learning as I went. Now I'm always thinking, "what needs doing", as I enjoy tinkering. [/QUOTE]
