I bet it has something to do with tech reputation.

Do you want to believe the guy who posts 2000 times in the tech section or the guy that posts 12 times tech and 12,000 times OD when it comes to the torque spec in your intake manifold?

Conversely, do you want to believe the guy who posts 2000 times in the tech section or the guy that posts 12 times tech and 12,000 times OD when it comes to the residential electrical issues, toe fungus or inter-species marriage?

Or do you want to believe the Service Advisor at your Mercedes Benz dealer???!!

(When he is standing right there in the "service lane" with his clipboard by your car and looking at you with a big gleam in his eyes and a wide smile on his face and asking for you to "please sign here" to authorize ALL the suggested work)

There probably is a forum for that somewhere, and it is probably one of the places where photos are better than viewed in person.
