Ya, I won't disagree that you had a bad experience, and so have many others. I guess I just take exception to labeling all people that repair cars for a living as thieves. My grandfather owned a garage for many years that eventually became my fathers. I can tell you countless stories of their good will work. Like them fixing the car of a single mother half knowing they weren't going to get paid, but letting it go anyway. Or plugging a hole in someone's tire for the cost of a handshake. I witnessed that one myself. I think it's safe to say, they were valued members of that community.
I'm just saying, be careful painting an entire profession with one stroke. Like, for example, not everyone that drives a truck pee's in a milk jug then throws it on the side of the road, while snorting No-Doze.
