So many customers are not right. When I worked as a mechanic, people would come with their diagnoses of the problem. I used their recommendations a few times, but soon discovered that they didn't know what they were talking about. Some of them, I just told them that if I'm wrong, that they didn't have to pay. That was a big incentive for them to trust my diagnosis.
Whenever I take one of our vehicles to our mechanic (his name is Duke and he’s awesome), my ‘diagnosis’ is always something like, ‘It’s going whirr-clunk. Make it stop.’
