And 3,000 oil changes are a waste of money unless you have a turbo car that sees primarily stop-n-go traffic.

And I wish the phrase "tune up" would go away -- it gives shops an excuse to perform a "package" of services that you didn't need.

Its the fact that for such a simple, obvious thing, the mechanic overlooked it.

depends on the woman. I had an elec issue with my truck and went through 3 different mechanics before it was finally fixed. There were a couple of other things fixed in the process, but they were also elec issues just not the root cause. Funny thing was, I told all 3 mechanics "I think the issue might be here" when I dropped the truck off. The last one finally listened to me when I dropped it off the 3rd time (at their shop)

So then you would fall into the "unless she really knows" category.
