i cant see how knowing how to do something justifies sticking it to those
who dont. im lucky in two ways....i rarely keep a new vehicle much more
than a year so im always under warranty, and there is no vehicular repair i
cant do myself anyway. i feel sorry though for those who cant and must rely
upon dealerships to repair their vehicles out of warranty. i feel sorry for
everyone with the triton v10 head out of warranty that had to pay for an
entire new head because the dealership was incapable of building up the head
and tapping new plug threads or paying a machine shop to do it for them (v10
was bad for blowing plugs out of their holes taking the threads with them).
it happened on my brothers but he had an extended warranty. i feel bad for
everyone whos paid $200 in labor costs to have an alternator swapped when i
know one person that got theirs swapped and installed at autozone for FREE
(labor). i could go on but im bored with this now.

Sure I can. When I take my vehicle to a dealer, I am entrusting it to
an entire organization. If something gets screwed up, it makes no
difference to me who did it. If you don't want to be painted with the
same brush, work someplace where your boss isn't a liar.
My reputation is all that I have and if I find myself working someplace
which does not meet my ethical standards, I will leave. I'm not saying
it is easy, but it might be necessary sometimes.

Re: What does the Mechanic get
Oh, yeah, we also get bad backs, premature arthritis, skinned knuckles,
stitches, infections, exposure to MTBE, Asbestos, solvents,etc. I'm not
snivelling, it goes with the job.
You don't see many old mechanics working in the shop until retirement age.
The smarter ones get out, or manage.
