Brings to mind this old favourite, which probably applies as much to plumbing, electrics etc. as it does to vehicles (and I'm sure the rates have gone up!)

p.s.ing my own p.s.

Had plumbers in last December to move plumbing and fit new radiators. Painter was in last week and couldn't get behind the new radiators (pic below) so I said "Don't worry! I'll take them down and refit them after you're done!" knowing full well that the tiniest leak would mean me begging the original plumber back in and adhering to the price structure above...

You don’t have to be qualified to be competent.

Nor do you have to be competent to be qualified, sadly.

What counts the most, in my opinion, is experience. Preferably experience of doing the job right.
