I dunno about that. I find I've spent a good number of hours fixing shop f-ups.

Ditto on that.

I can't even begin to tell you how many times over the years that I have found that the "shop" screwed up, installing incorrect parts...not tightening things back up etc. etc...

My regular p-tech once said, "I don't know if I make more money fixing your car or fixing your mistakes."
