    It’s not laziness or incompetence. It’s risk vs reward. It’s not worth spending extra time and money to be able to work on a car you might see once a year. Send it to the dealer and work on one of the other 20 cars waiting in your parking lot. If you owned a Ferrari, would you take it to one of the the shops around town? No, you wouldn’t, and they wouldn’t touch it either.

    Now that hybrids have been out for a minute, more shops will work on them. My shop now does but we didn’t until recently, because we see one or two per month now.
