Yes, but those really aren't mechanics, they are parts changers, and it
is socially acceptable to refer to them as morons and crooks. ( I get a
good number of my customers after they've had experiences with morons
and crooks..and there's a bunch of them around here, including most of
the dealer

As was said before YES you do need to check the compression BEFORE you
