Is there any one profession that gets bashed more than Auto Mechanics?
I hear it every day in my business, see it all the time here on the forums, and out in the world I will agree, there are some hacks out there, but.... This is a hard business. Even the best get stumped all the time, bolts get broken, stripped. can't get parts, parts come in wrong, and god forbid that after tightening 500 some bolts a week for 20 years, someone forgets to tighten one, or maybe tear a gasket, while trying to set a water pump down in some hole that no human hand can reach down in. .
I'd love to see some of the people who whine about the service they got try to hang in our shoes for just one week.

Politicians?
Usually that's a subset of lawyers.

LEO's get bashed more. Anyone with a keyboard knows how to do it better.
You have my sympathy, running a shop cannot be easy.

It looks like wrenches aren't even in the top 5 of most bashed professions.

With lawyers and federal employees, the hatred is deserved.

Dentists and Veterinarians are starting to get a bad rap now too.
Dentists because they always want to sell you the latest tooth whitening crap, or that they stick every kid in braces now-a-days. Vets because they charge crazy ass prices for procedures on mutts and stray cats. I know people that have come from the Vet with a $10k bill for a 20 pound rescue mutt!!

people complain about the price of mechanics but they think of nothing of the price of lawyers.

we had a sign up in the shop i worked in but cant remember exactly how it was worded. went something like this: be patient, we work on over a million models, your doctor only works on 2. i put realestate agents in with lawyers. they are selling something that does not belong to them and want a lot of money.
