well, IMHO, that really sucks!
I HATE being taken advantage of......
when we picked up lise's new car we bought a divider net to keep the dogs in the back...ya know they TRIED to charge us $80 to "install" it?
all you do is hook it on the hooks....
lise told the guy..."i'm no mechanic and i did it in less than 10 seconds."
they took it off our bill but we scrutinize every invoice there.

Oil truck pulled in today....filled our tank...that will be $530 ma'am.
Really Sucks!

well, the only thing I can say is that Mechanics, some of them, seem to not have any morals or are greedy.

But hugs to you anyway, {{{{{{{{{{Cat}}}}}}}}}}

I'm so sorry CAT!

(((((((((((((CAT))))))))))))))))

I always cringe when I take my car somewhere. I had brake and rotor work done on mine about 2 weeks ago. It cost me $250 and some odd bucks. I took the car for a free brake inspection because I was hearing noises. I had asked around work to see if someone would refer a place. I don't trust the Nissan dealership. The last time I took my car to the dealership, they told me that I needed a new oil pan. So, I took my car to Sears and had them to check my oil pan. Guess what? Nothing wrong with my oil pan!

A good, honest mechanic is like a diamond in the rough!

I'm so sorry again CAT!

I read all the posts and I disagree with you all. Men take advantage of women. They think we know nothing. I myself have found a gay guy that does understand wages and not having the money. He has been servicing my car for the last year and I will continue to go to him. I am a femme who knows nothing of cars and he knows this but yet he services my car at a good price. Not bad for a small town.
