i use to own a shop and i can tell you right now that one of the reasons that it's so hard to find an honest shop is because they normally go out of business.

you can spend 3 or 4 hours diagnoseing what exactly went wrong and it will be something like a bad injector that shorted out the wireing harness so you you charge the customer for an injector an a half hour labor for and then they refuse to pay for the diagnostic or at the very least raise all hell about it.

so then you've spent almost an entire day on a job that ends up paying a hundred dollars total. its an effin joke.

it sucks bad but i dont blame shop owners for being hardasses. you've got to make the money when you can, otherwise you go out of business.

i tried to be as honest as possable and do the best i could for people but now i'm back to working for someone else
