I was about to order a timing belt kit from RockAuto when I stopped by what I thought was a do-it-yourself repair shop. I just wanted to know if I needed to order anything. They convinced me to have them do the work. Another mechanic told me afterward that by ordering my own parts, I cut out the retailer and the mechanic.

I could have saved two hundred dollars!

"Hey Mr. Wrench, I am such a nice guy that I went ahead and saved you the time of tracking down my parts and ordering them! I hope you appreciate it!"
