I agree. Tech's are underpaid. It requires alot of skill and finesse to become a valued MB mechanic. Safety is a concern. What makes me mad is the fact, like the basketball player, you have have people that really arent that smart making more money. But i guess that raises another issue in total. As long as I wasnt paying an exorbitant amount on a repair bill, I dont mind paying more than a "normal" mechanic would charge. To me, quality, and having it done right is paramount. Its such a hassle to have to take a car back 2 or 3 times for the same problem. If you have a full shedule, sometimes this is an impossibility.

05 and older? Hmmm...I would have said 95 and older was my cut.
