There's normally ONE decent "mechanic" in a main dealers in my experience.
Unfortunately they pay peanuts.... [no offence to anyone working in a main dealer] but anyone with half a brain that's decent at what they do works for themselves or a firm that values them.
It REALLY makes me seethe sometimes when a customer buying a car looks at a service record and says "Oh, it's not main dealer History..."
I'd rather have someone I trust service a car than some thick twat that hasn't got a clue about anything except ordering more jewellery from Argos.
