Recently, my car wouldn't start, and we had to get it towed to a garage. Here, we call the guys who work on cars "mechanics", though I can see why you guys call them "Auto-Correct Features". Personally, I don't tend to think of people as 'features', but that's just me. If your computer needs servicing, do you take it to a "Computer-Correct Feature"?
