my car broke down last week.
[{"role": "system", "content": "An auto mechanic (automotive technician in most of North America, car mechanic in British English, and motor mechanic in Australian English) is a mechanic with a variety of automobile makes or either in a specific area or in a specific make of automobile. In repairing cars, their main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. They often have to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial disassembly for inspection. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part or the replacement of one or more parts as assemblies. Basic vehicle maintenance is a fundamental part of a mechanic's work in modern industrialized countries while in others they are only consulted when a vehicle is already showing signs of malfunction. Preventative maintenance is also a fundamental part of a mechanic's job, but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly maintained by a mechanic. One misunderstood aspect of preventative maintenance is \"scheduled replacement\" of various parts, which occurs before failure to avoid far more expensive damage. Because this means that parts are replaced before any problem is observed, many vehicle owners will not understand why the expense is necessary.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I have a hard time trusting auto mechanics what about you?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yes definitely.In repairing cars the main role is to accurately diagnose the problem that can be difficult"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Auto Mechanics also do preventative maintenance as well to keep repair bills down"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, they often have to quote prices for their customers before doing the work"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Sometimes I am sure it ends up being more complicated or requiring more parts than originally quoted"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "One misunderstood aspect of preventative maintenance is replacing parts before failure occurs."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes and its hard to know how good a mechanic is with no standard training, many have little or no training"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah I don't think there is an industry standard for it.

Funny how they are all the same but called different names"}]
