Anytime Sauto starts arguing in a thread with me, there you are to talk shit on top, its like you two are paired together.
I'd be fine with your comment if that had been the case, but in the case that you didn't read this thread, he didn't say that. He didn't bitch like that. He went on a ****ing tirade about how expensive everything is and how he was getting "Screwed" because it should only take 5 minutes.
yes, it probably only will take 5 minutes, but you don't pay for 5 minutes of labor hour, you pay for the job, any marked up labor hour they have, and in many case, they won't do the job.
I explain to him and everyone else with the same misconception how this business works so they don't get the same idea this kid had.

At no point did I not understand it. I GET IT.
my ****ing God
TO ME, THE GUY WITHOUT THE ****ING MIRROR, THE FIX IS WORTH $20. IF NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WOULD FIX IT FOR $20 AND I COULDN'T FIX IT MYSELF...I JUST WOULDN'T FIX IT.
Did anyone read that 'best one line of advice' you ever got thread?
one guy's dad said to him when he was bragging about how much his comic collection was worth "it's only worth as much as someone will pay for it."
well in this case, I'm that someone...
and for someone who doesn't give a shit about this car and ALREADY HAS THE ****ING PART...it is worth $20 god damn dollars to me...if that isn't worth it to said business, then that's fine with me and I hold no ill will and totally understand.
if that $20 is worth it to a Mexican then ****ing score one for me!
PRETTY SURE I DON'T NEED A WARRANTY, LIABILITY, INSURANCE, OR A LAWYER FOR SOMEONE TO INSTALL A ****ING MIRROR THAT I ALREADY OWN AND HAVE PAID FOR...
and if it isn't worth $20 for 5 minutes of someone's time then I understand. I do. I totally get it. That's why I made the thread. I wanted to know if 'big business' auto shops would consider doing something THIS EASY for the $20 I was willing to pay for something that was offered to me free of charge.
THAT WAS ****ING IT. THE END.
EXOTER YOUR POST COULD HAVE BEEN:
HEY PEYTON'S PRINCESS, I OWN A SHOP. NO ****ING WAY WOULD WE DO THIS. DON'T EVEN ASK.
and that would have been WAY MORE INFORMATIVE TO ME then the 210,000 character life lesson you decided to give to me

You were told that, you carried on.
But, you see, there is more to it than telling you it wouldn't happen.
You need to understand WHY it wouldn't happen, because some day you might be a customer of somebody on this site, and you will establish a good relationship with them because you are that much more INFORMED on how these business are ran, so you don't insult someone, or that knowing what you know now, you can find a good, honest mechanic out there, because believe me, there are plenty of crooks out there with a Business name and Tax ID that will take your money when you aren't looking.
I'm just trying to help inform the average Joe so they know what they are dealing with.
Sorry for Enlightening you and the rest of the world so you don't look like a giant douchebag wearing an asshat.
