You forgot to add that they also know nothing about cars that were made before they went to school 5-10 years ago. The way it works now is they plug the car into the computer. If the computer does not recognize the problem, they say the car is unrepairable. Repair is a misnomer anyway; remove and replace parts is all most shops can do.
