No, I do understand: I remember my first transmission: 1956 for pickup truck: My uncle gave me, my brother and two cousins a manual and access to his tool inventory with these simple commands: I want it out before I get back. Well, we spilled a lot of transmission fluid, well, we soon realized that is was our very own bodily transmission fluid (those transmissions have sharp edges!) we were spilling, I was 11 then.
Yes, the fun of blundering around, the thrill of victory, I did it!!
I am getting at the person who has no mechanical knowledge, and when they find someone who can give them high quality service, with high quality parts, for less than the big boys, they still complain.
I am not against the DYI, for Gods sakes, that is how the REAL technicians are born (my personal opinion).
