The autistic child that calls himself Bob ( his mom and dad gave him that name cause it's EASY TO REMEMBER ) is just a greasemonkey. The only question is how much grease vs. how much monkey. IOW, what is the ratio of grease to monkey, not that it matters.

You OTOH fishbone, are a phenomena all by yourself. We are amazed at your quick wit and always correct answers.

In awe:

a spelling flame is the absolutely lamest remark one can make. You're out of ammo. Go home.

Seems fair to me. However if the PP is going to criticize someone else's spelling..."phenomena" rather than "phenonema" is the plural of phenomenon.

Very well stated. Too many times, people do NOT stop & think about what the proper equipment & training costs the shop & they also don't realize how much it costs the technician for the tools that he makes his living with, nor do they value a proper diagnostics, when they can go to Autozone & get a half-assed scan & no matter what the codes is & how many things go into the play of setting the code, Autozone will sell them a part....................even if it isn't going to fix the problem. Then when these idiots have spent $300-$500.00 on parts & still have the same problem, they expect a legitimate shop to work on their cars for free. Get a life people!!!!!!!!!!!! If all parts were created equal, then all parts would cost the same. After market parts do NOT always work as they are supposed to do & therefore many "reputable" & "qualified" shopes use only OEM parts & then stands behind their work. These shops even pay taxes & insurance that all you back-yard so-called mechanics have no clue as to how much this costs per job or hour or day. Stating that all parts are the same is like saying thet there is no difference between round steak & porterhouse steak. There are many different brands, quality & prices on anything that you shop for. If you want quality auto repairs, be willing to pay for quality or you may find yourself walking when your cheapie part & back-yard repair fails or even worse you may find yourself dead from an accident when you forgot to hand torque the wheel lug nuts & the wheel that you removed in the back yard to gain access to the not-so-easy part, comes flying off.

I hadn't thought of that but that I think sounds like the real reason, everything else you cited, while annoying, could be handled if the shop was making enough money.

I have also heard tell of some apartment dwellers renting a unit in one of those self-storage places to do major car projects.
