So I was at the mechanic yesterday, and they handed me this long sheet with all these codes and abbreviations... honestly, it felt like reading another language, lol. Usually I just nod along and pretend I get it, but this time I actually asked questions. Got me thinkingβ€”do most people actually read through their car repair paperwork carefully, or do you just trust the mechanic knows best?

Quick poll:
- Yep, always read carefully
- Nah, just skim it
- Honestly, no clue what it says

Haha, guilty of this too. I skim mostly, but honestly, half the time it feels like mechanics could write anything on there and I'd never know... Maybe I should start asking questions too.
