The eventual elimination of vehicles powered by fossil fuel is also inevitable, although shale oil has pushed that date further out.

Mechanics won’t be out of work for a long time. Too many old school systems are still the best solution. I am a mechanic and don’t see my job going anywhere in my lifetime.

That is for sure had a bad mechanic leave rad clamps loose and insult to injury left the water pump bolts loose two call backs in one day.
Another mechanic got a spark wire squeezed under a head gasket and car failed the air test.
I found a good mechanic later on.....they offered me a free oil change screw them.
