I missed the 3rd brake bulb somehow, but he put one in for me for $16.75 plus tax!! They happen to have this "minimum labor charge" at 1/4 hour labor. I did not argue (cringed at the thought that I paid someone to put a freakin' bulb in) I just paid the bill and rolled out with this................



After I got home, I double-checked the bulb install and he did not have the socket in all the way either. I apologized to my Metro for letting some stranger molest her for a day, but we all know that will never happen again. How the hell can people afford to have their cars worked on? I am thankful that I chose a career path that not only pays my bills, but saves me money by repairing my own vehicles.

Tomorrow, I put my custom "Johnny-Built" pipe back on the car.

Total cost for inspection and bulb = $48.50
