Hi

This is a sad case for sure.

But in reality, there are D.I.Y car repairers that I know of and I would far rather trust to fix a car correctly than some so called professional repairers that have had contact with over the years.

Clearly members of this and other forums are professional in as much as the are devoting there own time to increasing there knowledge. They will also admit if they don't no something, the correct way forward is to find out !!

An old saying comes to mind,:-

" A fool is not a man the knows not, He is a man that knows not that he knows not. "

Until the trade puts it own house in order there is no practical way or point in stopping DIY repairs.

Just my thoughts

Cheers Aidan
