When I was 20 I brought my car in because their was a funny smell coming from the bottom.
I dropped it off, 15 minutes later they said to pick it up, it was a melting plastic bag stuck to the bottom of my car and they had to raise the car and scrape it off. It was 50 bucks.
I tried to fight it, 50 bucks for 15 minutes didn’t sound right. My mom happen to call. I explained the situation. She said 50 bucks was well worth it. You got an honest mechanic who told you the truth when a lot of others would have fucked you over and jacked up the price.
I now realize you’re paying for experience and no-how.
