How can they open their own shop? It has been made very clear by many people in these threads that techs only know the one type of engine where they are currently employed and all other makes just totally baffle them. It is impossible for techs to work on different engines so private shops need to specialize in one make only or have a different tech depending upon what car needs to be worked on.
This of course has been determined by guys with zero training or experience that feel they are personally capable of doing a $500 engine swap in their driveway over the course of an afternoon!
