That was my experience as well... the guys we had working on our 11/750
were pretty good (c. 1984-1988). I wasn't quite as impressed with the
MicroVAX guys, though... they were a bunch of board swappers.

On which
planet have you been living for the last 20 years????
I've never met a field servoid who had any sort of clue
whatsoever about the operation and troubelshooting of
computers -- they just replace seemingly random parts
until the fault goes away.
The DEC FS people who used to service the VAX-11/750
(this is late 80s, early 90s) and the associated
RA60 were actually pretty good.
