My friend retired from being a dealer mechanic. They only have 1 certified mechanic left. Too many hands in the pot to pay for a good mechanic to stay. The mechanic "kid" next to him asked, "I need to torque this bolt to 150 and my torque wrench only goes to 120, can I torque it to 120 then reset the wrench to 30 to get the full 150?". Yep that's what you get for $140 an hour labor charge. No thanks. I'll change my own oil! (This was a Dodge dealership).
