OBTW I have came across a few apprentices who were hopeless imo who were from independent business, what your comment to this?

I think what Silver Ghia is saying is that you take your car to a dealer who then puts an apprentice on it but charges you full price.

I take my (non Ford) car to an indy, but one who was trained by the manufacturer and has most of the computer gear to solve any problems.
