Everytime I go I feel like I'm talking with the guy from the Top gear show, 370(Zed), lol oh and they charge about $90-$100 an hour, gotta pay to play

I'm sure most of us have gotten shafted at some point. You can still feel good about yourself as long as you dont let it happen twice.

Yeah I paid $200 for a spring install. At a shop that builds race cars... I wouldn't trust the kid at any Midas to lay hands on my baby. Yikes
