Just goes to show that there are so many people out there, that have no clue on what they are doing even on the simplest of jobs. Now I wish I would have went up to California and checked out the car beforehand. The under carriage cover being covered in oil would have been a sign to step away from the purchase. Lesson learned I will never buy a vehicle out of town again that I don't physically see in person.
I can speak from experience, having been a mechanic my entire professional career, that there are a LOT of techs that don't do things right, don't get it, or generally suck. Because of the low barrier to entry and the overall low pay grade, it attracts low tier people. If you meet or do business with a tech who's obviously higher intelligence and does an OCD job, keep going back to him/her, they are more rare than not. Problem is most of the good people will only do shorter stints in the industry, get out and move upward in life. That's what I'm trying to do at this moment...
