Than - as you pointed we can open a can of worms here.
What is your definition of "malpractice". My late friend, who was MB repairman told me that in situations when one of dual electric fuel pump failed, he always replaced both. His practice proved that single pump working double duty for some time is not going to last. So is mechanic replacing single pump in dual system doing malpractice?
Mechanics don't study as long as doctors, so we expect from them less.
Than again if their hourly charges equal doctor charges, why not?
Than again, one more time, cars -unlike human body are not self-fixers. Meaning doctors have it easy
