Having worked as a mechanic professionally since 1955 I must tell you there are more that don’t know what the hell they are doing than there are dishonest.
Now having said that I must say there are still a lot of dishonest ones.
A friend of mine worked at a shop in San Francisco where an oil change meant they wipe the oil filter with a wet rag, fill the oil up to the full mark and park the car in a different spot. He couldn’t take for long, he quit.
I worked a place in San Francisco where they had a barrel of non detergent SAE 30 oil and a barrel of SAE 20/50 Castrol.
Everybody paid for 20/50 Castrol but everybody got 30 non detergent.
I lasted there one day.
