It seems these days that no one can actually repair a car. At least not in Texas. I think anyone who can change oil in a car figures he can call himself a mechanic and hang a shingle out the front door of his garage.

The problem is: No one seems to be able to much more than change the oil and I am beginning to wonder if they can really do that! Wal-Mart WAS my choice for an oil change but they have shorted me as much as two quarts of oil and stole my sons mp3 player out of my car. Aside from that, I paid for the deluxe service and got gypped out of that.

Lately, I have tried to get an electrical problem solved. So far...no luck....everyone claims to be a mechanic, but unfortunately they can't fix a car. I spend more time getting our cars repaired than I do at home. And I am sick of the smell of gasoline and stepping in oil spots.

Is there any way of finding a decent mechanic? Do they REALLY exist? I have my doubts....either that or I live in a mechanic's blackout zone........oh.....have I mentioned the doctors here? Well, I think they left with the mechanics!
