COMPLAINT
: Bad surge while drivingLast spring, I spent a few days during school break working in a service bay at the Ford dealership where I spent so many years as a professional technician. Work orders were flying thick and fast that week, and I encountered a few intriguing situations I thought readers might want to absorb.Any person who has worked in or around the field of automotive service and repair knows that a technician without a personal library of fact-finding and problem-solving skills is prone to continual frustration and possible failure. The best and most capable technicians are the ones that are willing to tangle with the tough-to-find concerns and hang in there
