73 valiant runs good then randomly dies

Ok, off topic here but FLAT RATE . Has screwed up the indresty, for most shops now it’s all about the bottom line , I started out in an hourly shop , then mangenent switched us all to flat rate ,so we all became parts changers because no body wanted to loose money rebuilding any thing because if it failed,leaked, quit working ,they would say it was our fault and then we were fixing it for free, so if we changed the failed part and it screwed up we got paid to change it ,again, coustomers that under stand that old **** breaks ,and cars are more complex now than ever are few and far between , still love my job ,I am working in an hourly shop again and really enjoy fixing things again ,not just changing parts, Flat rate also creates huge conflict in a shop , greed between the techs , I think that the quality also suffers , faster faster so you short cut . Like I said earlier nice to be hourly again so I can take pride in my work again . Cheers
