Mechanics

Absolutely, the ramps are a "must-have" item.
Go slowly, make sketches, take pics, label things if you have to.
With a Bentley and the list, you shouldn't go too far astray....

you off. My mechanic used to charge reasonable prices couple yrs ago,
because he had two very good mechanics working for him. Now those two left
to work in the VW stealership and he is forced to work more. guess what
happens then, prices go up.He even makes you sign a waiver if you bring your
own parts. Be aware though, a mechanic who is very busy is more likely to
make mistakes.

mistakes. I realized that and from now on simple things I fix them myself.
