I think this is a joke! Anymore the young mechanics are taught to plug the computer up to the car or truck and now tractor to see what is wrong with it.

I think that in today's world of complex technology, a machine or code scanner is a necessity.
My gripe is that people are paying technicians to make repairs by replacing parts that MIGHT BE BAD. If the new part did not correct the problem, customer is charged for it anyway. I talked to a friend just last week, that said he had a bad MAP sensor, TPS, and TWO O2 Sensors all go bad at the same time. His bill was $387.50!! Even having the scanned codes only directs you to probable cause and this can sometimes include many items. Of course sensors can be individually checked but many technicians just replace with new ones and you pay the bill!
