tilt

[Destroyer]

I've always thought that I'm paying for the person's skill, education, experience and know-how. At $90 an hour (or more) I don't want a "lets try this" parts replacement specialist. I want someone that can say "Your problem is that little left handed knurled dipsh!t rod" or some such thing. I understand that diagnostics take some time, but to my way of thinking, for what he did, (without fixing or even identifying the problem) he greatly overcharged you. A good mechanic is worth every penny they charge. A poor mechanic is just a sucking leech living off the reputation of the good mechanics who actually earn their money.
