Because most of the people that work there are idiots and can't tell you anything that the computer doesn't spit out about your car. Just my experiences though.
and I can say that because I used to work there in college. Occasionally you do find people who know what they're doing though.Actually I think it was a thread on here where someone said that our alternators couldn't be bench-tested at a local FLAPS. But I'm not sure now.
I took them to an auto-electric shop that rebuilds alternators. They used some common test leads with alligator clips on the ends. One was bad and the other was OK. I let them keep the bad one just for testing them for me.

If it wasn't obvious, I had an awesome time! I know a lot of people were bummed out about the rain, but I really enjoyed us all being in the shop together sharing ideas and just getting a chance to talk.Joe and Joe were great hosts as usual and very gracious. The scales were a great idea Sharp! At some point I'd love to come back and you can teach me a little about corner balancing.
I was personally grateful for Bill donating yet MORE parts and glad I finally had something you could use Bill! It was fun working on other peoples' cars too - nice to know I've finally learned enough to be helpful to others.
Hopefully we'll see some of each other soon at the Rolex 24?
joe and joe thanks it was fun and I had a great time meeting you all looking forward to next year thanks doug h
Even though I am a quiet guy I still had an awesome time. Thanks to Joe and Joe for having a great place for us to hang out!

Sounds like crap cause my windows were down and my hand was rubbing against the mic I guess.
