Probably have someone do it for me. I am not a paint guy. If I did it, the results would also look like drunk monkeys did it.

... records show they repeatedly threw parts at issues without trying to determine the underlying issue until something major broke.

Why does that sound like a way to try to get away with not paying for diagnostics?

The alternator is a good example they put in 13 batteries into this vehicle and not once checked the alternator. I have not checked it yet but I'm probably going to change it soon

The tires are another example. They went through many many tires and yet never changed the shocks or struts Even when the symptoms clearly pointed to the shocks and struts playing a role in the cupping on the tires

They put 15 different tires over its lifetime on that vehicle

Guess idio-diagnostics are a good way to sell batteries and tires ... interesting ... what else can be learned 'in reverse'?

Sometimes fleet mechanics aren't the best.
For batteries and tires that's not too unheard of. They can go through batteries fast depending on how they're using the equipment and they ususlly want as little down time as possible so if that means replacing something that's easy rather then fixing the real problem they'll do that to get it back on the road faster and deal with it the next time it's in for more thorough maintenance.
