And I've got an awesome mechanic that is super cheap.
$10 to change a fluid. Any fluid.
I can go to walmart and buy my oil and filter, swing by his place, and for $10 he'll change the oil.
$7 to mount and balance a tire.
$20 for an alignment. Dude has an alignment rack in his garage.
He used to rent a big garage near the highway, and charged higher prices. The landlord there wanted to overhaul it so kicked him out, he had a pole barn built on his property, and now he constantly has work.
I had him replace every single fluid on my Civic, new tires, new suspension, new belt, and I remember it was $470.
