Not helpful. Contacts will still show duplicates from whatsapp for example, when in phone app, or searching for a specific contact on phone or contacts app.
For your example, if you go to contacts app and search for “car mechanic” it will still show the duplicates, even the ones previously hidden.
The issue with this phone, and even after Oreo update, is that contact linking is not triggered when setting up the phone, only when editing a contact in google web which then pushes the update to the phone and triggers the linking.
