O.K. This isn't exactly the way I wanted this thread to go. I really didn't want to start a lawyer bashing session here. Actually I didn't even notice the lawyer issue when I first read the post. I was so overcome by the concept that a way of doing business was dying that I overlooked the topic.

I really wanted those who fear their trip to the Auto Shop to have insight as to what makes this industry tic. To run a successful repair shop, more skills are necessary than just being able to fix cars. My whole philosopy of life and interpersonal relationships is threatened by this question; how much disclaiming must I do?
