My wife has an Outback.  Every time (no exaggeration) we have taken it into
the dealer for any kind of warrantee work, at least one plastic bit has
fallen out onto the road within a few miles because the mechanic didn't
remember to screw it back on.  So Subaru does not have everything right in
our neighborhood.

Michael, you can't blame the dealer's mechanics' ineptness on the 
manufacturer.

OK, new thread, were mechanics better when they had to figure everything out 
themselves on a much simpler car?  Or are they better now when they have 
tons of electronic aids to help them diagnose an infinitely more complex 
vehicle, but which require a lot more knowledge of electronics?

(Like we don't know which way this one is going.)
