I know people that have had to take a vehicle back to them multiple times for the same problems they kept charging more money for but couldn't fix
if you want to find a top rate shop ask a shop who their best electronics guy is... if they point to one guy walk away as fast as you can, they should ALL be very well versed in electronics to be able to diagnose anything correctly and timely built within the last 10 years
there's anywhere from 7 to 12 PCM's ECM's and ECU's on a vehicle today... those are all different on board computers that have to be able to talk to each other in order for any of them to work correctly, if you don't know ohms watts amps and voltage references/formula's close the hood and walk away
how do I know? I've been a mechanic for nearly 30 yrs and still go to all the schools I can get because this is an ever changing evolving environment
oh, and before anyone asks no I can't take on any work... I already work too many 16 hr days thank you
I know Phillip Koontz, Anchor Auto, because I've know his family for decades and we also worked in the same shop a few years before he opened his own business... he's a good wrench and a straight up fellow
