That would be the right thing to do with a competent technician or indeed your doctor. However, here in India where I live, mechanics and computer technicians are for the most part essentially illiterate. They have absolutely no experience with the kind of analytical and critical problem solving skill you describe. Very often I am the expert in the room, and the only thing preventing me from doing the repair myself is the actual tooling (Plus I don't want to get my clothes dirty :-) ). So I do the do the diagnosis, and tell the mechanic what to do and they do it. Works well for all of us. :-)

- walrus01 8y agoThere are situations, however, where you have to know specifically what you want in order to get it. Using my personal experience with automobiles in Pakistan as an example, maybe 1 in 50 places that's capable of changing a tire also has a good quality balancing machine. If you've just purchased new tires and you know you're going to need all four wheels rebalanced, you have to intentionally seek out that rare place which has a modern digital tire balancing machine and knows how to use it.
