Master your ego, and you own your destiny.
While my dad was in China a mechanic told my mom on a routine state inspection that she had a cracked cylinder head and it needed something like $2000 worth or work and parts. My dad told my then 12 year old self to ask the mechanic where the crack was and how it was affecting the compression and in which cylinders. He was a bit taken back by being confronted by a 6th grader, and had tried to lie to me. My mother, a natural born lie detector, then berated him for lying to a child. Thus my distrust of mechanics began.
Yeah. The main issue when it comes to cost is really paying for the mechanics labor. It's exspensive. Parts are cheap in comparison, and are generally the same price when you buy them yourself. Personally, $30+ an hour to change brake pads for 2 hours is not worth it, especially since I'd probably have to sit there for 2 hours waiting anyways, so the opportunity cost of my 2 hours is reduced to nil. I'll save $60 and spend the 2 hours myself on saturday. But to each his own.

While we're on the subject of mechanic scamming, listen to this prank call. I love the part about replacing the "head light fluid."

I would prefer the statement in english next time.
hahah! seriously. I nearly went cross-eyed trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about. Use a period or a comma to break up the sentence. Otherwise, the grammar nazis will be on your @$$ in no time.
Hey, now make sure you don't mix up the left and right tires. And whatever you do, DO NOT put front tires on the rear or rear tires on the front. It can be very dangerous!
Good lord, that girl's father has done her an injustice.
Damn Steve, I keep following each of your posts...
In all fairness, that can actually be a problem if the tires are staggered. Not that she would know that.

Same here. He looked suspiciously like a shaved monkey in a suit.
I'll second the comment about the hobby shops on base. The one in Corpus is especially good. Brand new tools, and every mechanic working there is more than willing to help or answer questions. I used it numerous times while I was there.
