I'm glad you bought up "billable hours". This has always been a subject worth discussing, which brings us back to the mechanic who doesn't have a clue about ASR.
Consider this scenario. A qualified technician (dealer or independant), who is able to properly diagnose the problem in a reasonable amount of time, vs. the guy who doesn't have a clue, and wastes countless "billable hours", at the vehicle owners' expense. Is it fair for the owner to be billed for more diagnostics because the guy working on the car doesn't understand the system, or doesn't have the equipment to find the problem faster?
What I'm trying to say is that the owner shouldn't have to suffer the expense of the technicians' "on the job training".
