If the mechanic tells you you need a new air filter...enough said.

And unfortunately, this same issue happens in a lot of fields. I'm sure there are many doctors and dentists out there that are taking advantage of their patients and the insurance that they have. Oh, the stories I could tell! My husband used to work for a well-known muffler/mechanic chain. They were very honest. They would have customers come in for a second opinion and inform them they didn't need the $500 worth of repairs that someone else told them they needed. Many times he could just turn the rotors and replace the brake pads. So, how are things with the baby? Good to hear from you.

It's all about the $$ and not about helping out someone else... *sigh* Thanks for the link!

For $4 you'd get four hours of basic instruction plus pizza. It was fabulously informative. Good tips, our community school here in town had a class about auto maintenance taught at a local garage.
