Things are a lot different in the Canadian dealer network as well as the Canadian automotive industry. To be a licensed mechanic in Ontario a minimum of 9000 hours of apprenticeship is required along with three levels of trade school. Also, in the dealer network here you are responsible for your work. You spend hours and hours on something and don't fix it (this is warranty i am talking about here) you don't get paid for it. It comes back because you didn't fix it right? You fix it for free. (Not sure in the states but here most of the dealer techs are flat rate or piece work.) That being said - if you are flat rate and there's no accountability or work ownership there are techs that just churn out as much work as they can, right or not. I have found through my travels on the interwebs that the majority of dissatisfaction with dealer diesel techs stems from the US. When you work on something wouldn't you rather have a potential customer looking at a current customers truck and say "wow! That looks great! Who fixed that" over "holy ****, who's the hack job butcher that pieced that together?" Good, cheap, fast. Pick two. [/QUOTE]
