It is our responsibility. We know this. I certainly hope my mechanic doesn't expect me to know a thing about how my car works, I don't expect my customer to understand how insurance works either. The difference is, I have a duty to explain the basics. But at least my mechanic is a nice guy and I always leave the garage knowing a little more than I did going in.
