I read a book called "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" It's a good book (for the most part) but there's a section where the author mentions what to look for in a good mechanics shop.
One was order, not necessarily cleanliness, but order. There aren't a lot of parts all over the bays, tools just are strewn about
The other was if you hear a radio blaring then you'd better move on, the fact that they are more interested in what's on the air, then what they are doing more than often means they don't pay the kind of attention to detail that people expect.
Weird when you mention how bad Ford put stuff back together in your car. I guess dealerships aren't any better than a mom and pop shop.
