Ok everyone, Listen up.

First, its ok for others to ask him if he has checked basic things, and probe him for information.

If you are a tech and need more specific information, you can tell him look, tell me this information, and I can start to assist you. And you can do it in a nice, non sarcastic or rude way.

How hard is it to be nice when helping someone, my mechnic, if I told him event he most simplest of information, he would probe me with questions to find out more information, he wouldn't make sarcastic remarks, or be unhelpful.

Regardless of this being free, there are many people who do not know about cars, don't know how to describe things, and are just looking to learn. You can't get down on people for wanting to learn, you have to help them learn, by helping them learn how to give more information, so answers can be made.

I am not a tech, but many times, based on my readings from people with knowledge on this site, and with my own research and DIY work, When people need help, I at least convey them knowledge I have learned that may help their problem. No one told him to replace any parts, mere to check them to see when they were last replaced, or if they were good as preventative measures.

Lets all realize that people are only trying to help.

Alon
