GOOD mechanics - ones that actually do know what they are doing - have some self-respect and take pride in their job. <br /><br />and as much as the dealerships seem to overcharge you, you're really getting better service. the mechanics at the dealership are TRAINED specifically by that car company to rock the fuck out of working on those cars.<br /><br />also, go buy a chrysler and have it worked on at the dealer so i can keep paying my bills.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191250739548524094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-71202739322919006652011-04-27T14:31:53.086-07:002011-04-27T14:31:53.086-07:00That shit don't lie.
