The saying that you shouldn't open hood to strangers is old fashion... you should find someone who get's to know your car, regularly. So they can 'know' what is happening with the car and customer.  I hate seeing a car for the first time and having to 'fix' it with no information about the car, or what the customer expects from the car.

I'm going to guess, by what you are saying is that you are a mechanic. I live in a small town, where the number of mechanics is limited, and to be honest, the ones I've dealt with have all been very good. They take the time to talk to you, and will do things above and beyond the call of duty at times. Even some of the mechanics at the local CT are pretty good. The big difference I see is between the local shop owner, and the dealer mechanics, who are more than likely being pushed to "produce" , to get in and get out, shall we say, and get the most out of the poor customer.
