A mechanic can install brakes and water pumps and leave greasy thumb prints on the dashboard. A technician can update a vehicles computer system with a lap-top and know how it works and why. A mechanic can almost put the spare tire back in your car the way it came from the factory. A technician "fixes" your problem. A mechanic get's you by for $50 bucks. A technician go's in and researches the problem and finds it then fixes it right and knows where the fix took place and how they found it. A mechanic merely suggest's trying a fuel filter.....every time. A technician only works for people who also take pride in there work and offers an honest professional business. A mechanic takes bribes for illegal inspections and cut's there boss in on it. A grease monkey will always give a thumbs down.
