you think a guy with an old stang is going to willingly take his car to a pair of female mechanics, let alone a pair of female mechanics who are completely grease free?
if i had a heart attack, went to a surgeon who hummed and hahed, then woke up and got told it was a kidney problem, so they took it out and now im fine, then had another heart attack a day later... id be asking questions about what the money i spent was for and how his training led to that.
motorcycle mechanics are fucking worse.
i want to bitch about my gearbox failing twice a few weeks back but the fucking thing feels like new again...
this world need more dudes like my dad. books and books and books of repair manuals for cars he didnt own with stuff like checking valve clearances and timing, ask him 'what do i need for literally any random machine part and if he didnt know right off the top of his head, he'd sit down and work through it with you. now its a two page online manual with shit like 'dont drink battery fluid' 'dont drive at night with your headlights off' 'press button to start car' (dad was toolmaker/fitter and turner)
this is the problem mate, and why the whole 'hurr u shuld do it uself' shit.
if i had the appropriate space, and all the tools i need, and the actual free time, which never in my life have i had all those at once, maybe id be able to teach myself how to fix a car one day. god only knows what i would have learned on this earth if my genius level dad (no car in my family went to a mechanic, it went into dads garage, while after death his 1949 AJS motorcycle he hand restored just to piss mum off got magicked off somewhere) had he not popped his clogs before i finished high school but i sure as shit wasnt capable of concentrating long enough on it back then to.
not everyone gets to be able to learn that shit for themselves. which is why mechanics are supposed to exist... they have one purpose. to fix fucking cars. its what they advertise. if i take my car in and tell the dude 'the transmission fluid pissed all over the ground' i dont expect to get a phonecall saying 'so i drove your car around for a while and the gearbox is a bit clunky but what did you say was wrong with it again?' 'ITS GOT NO FUCKING TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT WAS UNDER THE CAR' 'how do you know i....'
