In my experience "we don't work in $common_piece_of_tech" is industry speak for "that model is a known basketcase. go away."
If a car is known by the mechanic to be problematic then they should make the customer aware of any potential issues and quote the job accordingly.
I'm afraid Spectre is correct. I know of many mechanics who are great with carburetors but haven't a clue how to work on efi cars. They make up bullshit excuses, the common one being "Oh there are no servicable parts in efi, it's all computers and witchcraft..."
These are the same guys who don't know how to send an email and find mobile phone technology baffling.
