I've talked to a lot of first rate 911 techs who know very little about 914's. I wonder how the shops maintain a production line of repairs when so many 914 parts have to come from multiple vendors or purchased used. - Not to mention metal work.

I've talked to a lot of first rate 911 techs who know very little about 914's. I wonder how the shops maintain a production line of repairs when so many 914 parts have to come from multiple vendors or purchased used. - Not to mention metal work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Most of the techs at the dealer don't have the first idea on how to actually troubleshoot a problem. They plug in the computer, and it tells them what is wrong, and what to replace. The dealer in Fort Worth actually called me about an 1973 911E with MFI because their techs were completely baffled by it. Seems one of the sales people is in the local PCA region, and he knew I was capable of diagnosing it. They didn't like my consulting rates (which were the same as their labor rate), so I don't know what happened to it. To be fair, I don't work on anything later than a 993. I don't know the systems and I don't have the equipment like the dealer. |
