    I have NO PROBLEM leaving the VX shop manual in the front seat, as well as ANY and ALL printed materiel that may aid a mechanic in working my VX. I rarely take my VX to mechanics, but for the few times I did, I always leave the manual and any docs in PLAIN site for the mechanics to see when they are working on my VX.

    Hell, I would even say, "The VehiCROSS is a rare vehicle and most people have never seen one, and although I'm sure your mechanics know what they are doing, I left some specific information I would like them to review prior to working on my vehicle"

    As long as you are polite and respectful, most mechs don't mind this. In fact, I bet having a shop manual on hand for a rare vehicle is helpful if then need it, even just for torque specs that are hard to find.

    I know that the axle shop that worked my CV joints was very appreciative of the boot install instructions we have here. He said it saved him significant time & hence me $$$$.'

    The alignment shop that I took it to though wasn't interested in the spec sheet at all.

    of leaving them helpful info w/o ticking them off (yes sometimes I worry about poing them) is I bring it in and say hey I was going to do this myself and printed out these directions. It looked difficult so I decided to leave it to the experts. Here you go if you want them.
