I always hang out with my mechanic in the bay. That is super prole but whatever. Sometimes I don’t feel like DIY and I always need state inspections. At dealerships I sit and watch as the crap ones don’t do what they say they do in services and then bitch out the service writer and make them do it. I saw a tech put on a lugnut with a giant impact gun with no torque stick and flipped out and made them replace the wheel stud. I have since stopped taking advantage of free services that come with vehicles and DIY or take it to my guy. I am going to try dealer service for the free service with the new Porsche and see if they are better. I watched them work on other cars for an hour and they were good.

Should I stop taking my car to the dealership lol

Can I just ask to watch them do their work? Always seemed intrusive but I guess it's kinda my right

Everyone is a hack in my view (except for my savant mechanic). Dealerships won’t let you in the bays, but you can almost always watch through a window. I usually stand in the driveway and pace.

I should add, I am the only one my mechanic lets hang out in the bay.

You could hang out in my office.

I am not saying hang out in the bay, I just do that because the owner of the shop and I are friends and I have known him for a dozen years and the mechanic appreciates me around (it is a general service shop so I know more about my vehicles than he does) and I help out.

With new cars being basically computers on wheels, I feel like general mechanics might struggle with nuances, and especially with hybrids. Seems like with new cars it would be silly NOT to take it to the dealership no?

Depends on what for. The “new cars are computers and on one can fix them” is mostly flame. Internet has made fixing cars way easier. Some weird electrical fault that no one on the internet has, sure, maybe take it to the dealer. Otherwise I will take a good independent mechanic.

Yeah but that also assumes the mechanic will have done that easy-accessed but thorough research on all of the 50 car models he might see in a month

My mechanic works one night a week for cash. Go there and chill with him and a bunch of other mechanics and friends. Drink beer, smoke cigs and he orders a huge ass pizza.

Bring my own oil & filter and for a $20 it's changed. Proud to be prole in this sense, opportunities for male bonding in this way are awesome.
