Many years ago when I first joined IATN and then UKAT the internet was my friend and has over the years played a very big part in my learning, diagnosing and fixing experience.
These days it is just one BIG pain in the backside.
First off all the public websites out their now that list all the likely faults on almost any car and any fault code even Andy Pandy or looby lou can fix a car these days! And if they dont manage to fix it first time, at least they weren't ripped off by the nasty garage to diagnose it!
Secondly, As a diagnostic specialist I end up with the Jobs that have already been googled and Autotalked to death, not only by the general public but by the garage aswell. This has been a problem for me now for quite a few years. It is now becoming a problem for normal gargaes too.
Welcome to my world.
Diagnostics is dead.........
Long live googlostics!!
