    You will find that there is 3 different types of "mechanics"
    Those that fix problems
    Those that can figure out what's wrong, then fix it.
    And those that can figure out what caused the problem then fix it and then fix the problem.

    The first type are usually backyarders that call themselves mechanics and are much loved within the trade as their stuff ups keep the other types of mechanics employed

    Technicians are usually the third type of mechanic.

    I'd say talk to someone down in the workshop and not the paper pushers upstairs

    As for the Audi BMW comment.
    Has that guy ever seen one?
    From my experience working on them they are only a small step above being nothing more than a German Commodore or falcon. Although, the more you spend on them the better they get. Example an old 318i is nowhere near as well built as a M3.
    thats because they are just a german commodore or falcon. they quite litterally sell as rep mobiles in europe, esp the bmw 318i and 320d, and the audi a4 1.8T.

    its quite funny, many aussies idea of 'exclusivity' is just like a bunghole in europe... everyones got one lol!

    And just look at how much English love the Commodore, and how highly even Tog Gear rate it.
    Its funny how people assume more expensive is better. They are only expensive because of tax.

    Technician is a specialist in a certain brand. A Mechanic is a 'jack of all cars, master at none'...

    As Woden has been named...

    They damaged my car and also drove it around 50km on its 1000km service.

    But they also did me a solid... they found why my car was not starting and did it all under warranty when the issue was the Xede being a bitch!
