You are right, my statement was an unfair and incorrect generalization. I didn't intend it that way. Professional mechanics of any kind know their trade far better than I. But they are typically under pressure to work quickly, and that unfortunately can reduce quality of work - true for any endeavor. To be clear, I respect professional mechanics and am just a amatuer asking for help with a water pump!
