    I repaired a 09 civic yesterday, the lady had neglected to have the av repaired for 2 years because she feared a huge expense. The compressor relay was bad. I verified the correct ac charge through a recovery/refill, replaced the defective relay and sent her down the road happy for $61.21.
    This man is the only one I trust to work on my vehicles...
    "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

      I get that stuff so often. Had a lady with a quote from a local shop for $1100 to replace pretty much everything in her Blazer. I replaced the $15 relay and replaced the charred wire for $50 and she was as happy as can be.

      Had a damn Dodge Ram come in because its driver side headlight didn't work. Guy has spent $400 chasing the problem and even went to the dealer and got a "I dunno, someone messed up your wires so its gonna be a few hundred to trace the problem."
      I shit you not, I went to the BCM and saw the code for burnt headlight detected (which he replaced) and then cleared the code. Walla, working lights. I get told by all his friends he sends me that he drove it like that for almost 3 years. LMFAO! I didn't even charge him cause it took 3 minutes to fix. He still slipped a $50 under my cigarette pack on the counter that i didn't see until I picked up the pack.


      There is enough legit work out there to not have to make crap up and rip people off.
      Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
