In such a white-collar job crazy country as ours, motor vehicle mechanics are oftentimes viewed with a tinge of disdain if not outright contempt. However, every vehicle owner desires the best service from a mechanic, but almost always at the lowest cost.

The irony of demanding such services for a song is that it could mean life or death. But perhaps lack of a proper industry yardstick has been the worst enemy of quality service in motor vehicle repair.
