I gave up on dealer mechanics years ago. It seemed like they were just as likely to break something else while fixing the original problem. I'd get bikes back with stripped, missing or improperly torqued bolts. I got to the point where I decided that doing my own work couldn't possibly be as bad as rolling the dice with dealer's shop.
My last visit to a dealer ended with a "mechanic" advising me that my CB750 should have a coolant flush. After mentioning that it had no coolant (besides oil), he pointed to the oil cooler and asked, "What do you think that is for?". Sheesh!
I'm sure there are some shops out there that still do quality work everytime, but they seem to be a well kept secret around here.
