Re: Push for Mandatory Service Logs

Why not, professionals do not teach people to drive those cars? The people that teach other people to drive are amateurs that do not know how to drive, making most other drivers a public roadway hazard as well LOL

Not feasible.

I do all my own repairs.. Even complex CANBUS diagnostics/scanning, trace & repair.

I've had too many "professionals" screw up my cars!

Had a coolant leak: dealer suggested that the water pump was bad, needed to be removed/resealed.. turned out to be a bad hose (repaired myself), ignition module failed... ok, that is what the dealer said, turned out to be a fuel pump relay.. diagnosed properly after the 2nd tow. (had no time to spare to repair, and relied on the dealer.)

thanks.. but you won't get anywhere with that. I bet Raplh Nader has wrenched a few cars as well.

I think Nomen has a disease. Cranial rectalitis. He should visit a doctor, I suspect he will prescribe a plexiglass stomach. So he can see where he is going with his head up his a**.

I presume YOU believe your post has merit, and some of it may actually have some good sense.

However, as with the majority of the others who responded, find home-plate, and get out of left-field. :sunglasse The majority of modern cars can still be dealt with for many maintenance and repair issues, by anyone with tools, a manual, and some common sense approach.

Why in hell would I go to Wal-dip to change an oil filter or air filter??????? I'll keep the money for the time I would have to put in instead. What tripe you propose essentially states it could become illegal for a guy to change his own flat tire on the side of the road, without "pro" documentation. Sheesh, stay with something you have some true understanding of, although you do provide a good source of humor.

And, not wanting to sound too rough on you, you have the same right to voice your opinion as any of the rest of the guys around. Just be ready to be called to task for them.
