As a former Sears auto shop inspector here is the deal. Sears is not
interested in keeping experienced mechanics. They are interested in the
bottom line. Many people are forced to put large repairs on their Sears
charge when they don't have the cash. There are some very good mechanics at
Sears but there are some kids just out of middle school. You could get either
working on your car at Sears. "Caveat emptor" (sp?). Small shops don't do
this because they need to keep their good rep.

My 2 cents,
Mark
