Well Gents I have seen the same show, My point of view that Mechanic
should not taking Job like that, he should have advised costumer that car is
old
and could have multitude of problems as it happen to be. On other hand old
cars
you can fix one item and next item could fail with in seconds of first one
being fix.
I am not car Mechanic but I did work on my own vehicles, I have log over
Million
miles and experience many different problems that some never was diagnosed
but had remain history. Solution was for some people replacing complete new
motor by factory.
Some people by junk and expect to make it new with few buck I know that
because I was
Victim of scum bag on Long Island NY 300 k. Item expect to fixit for couple
Hundred.

Please comment when anything seems worth commenting on.

A plaintiff on a tv court show complains that her car keeps cutting out,
turning off without being told to, and she takes it to a garage.

He puts it on the electronic whatever, and there is a code for the oil
pressure or the oil pressure switch. He looks and notes that wires
going by the oil pan are saturated in oil, so he replaces them and gives
her back the car. He also replaces the oil pressure sending switch,
either during the first visit or after she brings the car back.

She brings the car back within a day. and the respondent says, "The oil
pan gasket was leakiing and obviously it was necessary to r eplace the
gasket". He doe that and returns the car, but it cuts out even before
she gets home.

The rest of the story is complicated and a distraction but what do you
think of the mechanic so far?
