You just may not be near a good shop.
There are some incompetents, slackers, and even criminals in the auto business.
or you feel YOU can do what YOU want better than anyone else.
When a shop screws something up they fix it, when you screw something up – you pay.

When I repeat my simple comment to shop owner friends it may lead into good stories with laughter included. It's a bit provacitive, but it's great for triggering conversation. If I need an in-house question answered it's already been paid for thru my favors/ at least. If he's new to me it probably becomes 4 Large cans of coffee for a quick answer. My personal prob is that you may have to see the whole package to understand my meaning of words.
I'm near some very good shops that produce very nice work.
"incompetents, slackers, and even criminals in the auto business."....... check out the boat repair business for good entertainment.. even the "consumer protection" guys are amazed and relatively unable to do their work. Forget about insurance adjusters. The adj may see the same repair pic from various boat yards and it hasn't registered that it's the same pic.
"When a shop screws something up they fix it, when you screw something up – you pay."..... sounds good in "words". Actually the poor customer may not know the reason for the continuing prob and he keeps shelling out big bucks till the prob is eventually solved due to "practice makes perfect" mechanics. The 911 word may take thousands of bucks for "practice makes perfect"
"Clearly there are some strong opinions here."....... peace brother.
