Trust me I was on the end of that crap (as the auto electrician getting a car with intermittant faults) and there is nothing worse than that situation for everyone.
99% of the time a customer will bring their car in with an intermittant problem, and it won't do it while its at the shop and it won't throw codes either when you scan it, you have to keep the car for ages and drive it, which the customer usually can't do because they need the car for getting to work.
The car won't play up when we have it, but when they get it back it starts playing up again.
Its bad when its not something common as if you've worked on a few with that problem you generally know what it is but when you're flying blind its no good.
