    Dealership mechanics went to college and got certified. The highschool drop outs you speak of are the ones working at Jiffy Lube.

    Going to college doesn't certify somebody in my book. Nobody takes care of items that are not owned by them as well as they take care of items they own. If I do my own work, I know it's done right the first time

    Exactly lmao. I only let "certified mechanics" touch my truck if it's absolutely necessary. I.e. ECU flash, or jobs requiring special tools like adjust the backlash on the differential. I don't want my pumpkin to detonate lol.


    I've done everything to my truck in my own garage, easily as hell with basic hand tools
