will take about 15 minutes." I just laughed, and told him about the other shop, he wasn't surprised.

He told me there was no charge for the work, and I asked him what he drank, and picked him up a couple cases of beer.



Cost you two cases.....I made out like a bandit then.....:toast:

Just like Doctors when there a major issue get a second opinion....8 yrs ago my wife 6 year old Jeep was leaking fluids, took it to a garage near our house.....Owner calls us up, $3,800 to fix and suggest we junk the Jeep....

We take the Jeep in town to another shop, come back an hour later to see what they say...."All fixed, $35 bolt....you're good to go".....Jeeps 14 yrs old now and still runs like a trooper.....:0008

I have a 13 year old jeep and I love the damned thing...I`m not getting another vehicle until it falls apart(and it doesn`t appear that`s gonna happen anytime soon)...

Relax.....we're joking.....it's understood profits, parts & labor are involved.....:0008

:mj07: I know that. I just wanted to get him wound up a little bit. I can assure you there was no "profit" there. The place that wanted $3800 wanted to grease your ass though.

What exactly was the "bolt"?

Apparently the man that charged him $35 fucked him? He pulled his Jeep in his shop, diagnosed it, fixed it, all for $35? And he fucked him??? :facepalm:


Wow man.....

I can't remember exactly, I think the shop wanted to replace the drive shaft or something that connected to it.....The other shop just replaced a bolt and off she went.....we were all set to junk it for $200.....she's not the prettiest car but will go through just about anything.....:0008
