In the end, yea he is pretty priceless. I was stumped on one stupid electrical problem. He brought the factory manual, and figured it out in 15 minutes. I was happy to give him 50 bucks and he tried to refuse. I had spent most a day chasing my tail with the Bently manual and my tester.

Good for you! Also wise. He's happy giving his wife a night out, and you're still ahead of the game. Think how much a stealership would have charged you, assuming a younger tech could solve the problem.
I'm jealous...don't have a similar resource.
