I was in the auto repair field from bottom to top for 35+ years. I can tell you that in every shop there is fair good better best mechanics. Usually the oil and lube guy is entry level. The key is to find out which mechanic is best and specify you want him/her to work on your car. But, everyone can and do make mistakes in all fields even rocket science or brain surgery. The better guys can fix their mistakes.
Also if your a perfect person wanabe and go into the shop and act like you know it all and think that you are super important and want everything done fast then you will be screwed. One more thing, sometimes the mechanic has to try to fix some real bad engineering that the manufactor didnt, probably because of the bean counters.
You bought a new to the USA first run vehicle. Expect a few problems to happen and dont expect even the best mechanic to know all of the quirks right away. Based on the stories on this web site I think that the Ranger has had a very good roll out. And if you have changed the engineering with YOUR MODS then all bets are off. It is your problem now and dont expect others to take care of your problems that you created. ??
