Don't you hate taking it to the shop? (Long) 200

Strong-Pimp,

I'll add that we also pay for the other stuff. Not everyone has a garage, nor does everyone who has a garage have a hydraulic lift. Those guys have to pay for that stuff too, which adds to the cost of doing business.

It doesn't follow that the prices are "fair", but anytime I start thinking, "well, it's close, and I don't want to do it myself because..." I know the cost is going up. Works that way in every business situation I know of.

I spend a fair amount of time tutoring kids - and I ain't cheap. But I am convenient and skilled. So if you want your kid tutored, it's the same question. Do you first teach yourself the subject in excess of the needs of your child, then spend a couple hours a week tutoring him or her? Cost/benefit analysis says yes if you have more time than money; no if the other way 'round. No?

BTW, I'm impressed that you've gone so long without taking the car to a shop. I started at the shop, and $4000 later, I'm trying to do everything myself. You're way seems better to me!

Best,

Lanval
