I appreciate your input, Bill. However, while there are really good, caring and ethical doc's out there the reality is there are temptations provided by the pharma folks and , let's say for example the MRI owners. We are aware of the $500 "incentive" provided to doc's for getting patients to do the MRI, whether needed or not. You and the missus are right on the money for walking away from mechs/techs that do what you described. Scooter techs seem to be worse for diagnosing some malady in a scoot that requires major repair parts and labor unnecessary. Any car or scoot owner unfamiliar with the basics is a potential target. Same is true with patients and doc's.
