It was a dealership. I think it was they needed to change the water pump or something. Something we couldn't do or didn't have the tools to do it. We ended up taking it to another dealership.

But the odd thing is the first one the guy said he was too afraid to touch it to the point he didn't even look at the truck, he was cussing about the age, and so on. Another offer when he got off his vacation, but by that time we didn't trust the shop. Like it wasn't the first time we ran in problems with them. And the sad part is the manager said that's the best help they can get.

Anyways, I think none of these things will be a problem once humanoid robots take over such jobs. The stories of a mechanic "finding" problems which cost a fortune to fix and illegally holding a car while saying they can't let it go on the road, replacing parts with cheap parts when you brought high quality parts, and doing other shady or illegal things. All those problems will be in the past.

Even things like buying used cars will be less risky since you can bring the robot with you to look at cars.

Yeah, that'd be interesting! Mechanics cant screw you over and you could 3d print a part for your car and have your robot fix it. But we might not even own cars in the future, we would just be using rideshare. On an unrelated note. No girls to screw you over once you have a robot girlfriend.

This post wasn't about a robot GF. It was about a robotic mechanic in your garage and in the shop.

I mean I 100% think what you are talking about will be a thing. They are already working on making sex dolls have motions and sounds like they breath, make sounds when things happen, and so on. And it has been pretty open that while most aren't open about it. One of the next big money makers will be a robotic wife/husband.

But the post has nothing to do with that.
