I'm fine with that because I just make damn sure they fix it, and if I have to fight at all for it, I take my business elsewhere.

I had a plumber crack the porcelain on the sink when tightening the drain. They told me about it and bought me a new sink. That's my plumber until I move. In another town the same thing happened and they put some silicone on it and didn't tell me. That plumber was never called again except to tell them why.

I failed an emissions test. The repair place near work wanted to replace the fuel injectors, it was going to cost a third of what the vehicle was worth.

The one near my house pointed out that there was chunk of EGR hose missing and the rest were ratty. They could replace them all for $280 (above the mininum required to address a failed test).

It was the hoses. Went from above the limit on two tests to 10% of the limit. I used that mechanic until I moved across town.
