 | Early 2002 an automotive technician of many years, I (Jim Short) saw the need for personable and reasonable auto care solutions for today's consumer. My vision included fair assessments to common car care as well as dealing with more "expensive" problems. My experience showed me that many consumers were not educated in how to properly maintain their investments, |
| or worse, treated with dishonest and ridiculous business practices when seeking auto advice or repair. While public opinion about auto repair businesses has not changed in many years, fortunately the technological aspect of today's cars and trucks has. Cars and trucks are more powerful and yet more efficient than those in years past, cars have seem to have gotten smaller but yet safer and stronger, the air we breathe cleaner. Have you heard of hybrid cars? You will, they're here now. |  |
 | Auto manufacturers are faced with overwhelming tasks to develop, build and sell vehicles that meet public demand as well as EPA, NHTSA regulations not to mention state and local agencies! But at what expense? You, the consumer, should be aware of some pitfalls regarding bad automotive decisions and just like the expectations you have of your family physician, be given the opportunity to discuss your options with the caregiver. How many times have you been fully informed of the diagnosis / prognosis and correct |
| course of action and had explained the details regarding auto repair or service? In
my experience many consumers never have. Today's auto professional is hidden in the
back of shops and is not allowed to interact with customers for fear of "releasing
too much information" or "conflict of interest" HOGWASH! Automotive technicians now
are in some cases required to constantly educate themselves in order to retain
recognition or in rare situations keep their job. Most of us truly pride ourselves in
a job done right at a fair price. We would cherish the day when we are referred to as
"automotive professionals" and not "grease monkeys" or "thieves". |
