I make friends with the techs there and get to do that. Coffee, donuts, an occasional tip for a good job done helps them get more motivated. So yes, I do watch. That is, until I can feel good about them. I discuss the repair with the tech that I know first then tell the Service Writer what I want done.
A very important question is why you want to watch them. If you watch them to watch them, it is pretty useless. When I go to the doctor, they explain things to me and I just nod my head and look thoughtfully at them like I understand. Usually it is down her blouse that I am looking. I don't understand what they are saying for the most part nor do I care to understand. The wife takes care of that. Do you understand what is being done? If not, what is the point of watching. I read up on the procedure before the thing is done. That makes my watching more meaningful. Are you willing to read up on what is being done?
