Wow, I’ve been getting ripped off big time by my local mechanic

[Speedbike96]

I can’t believe that Albuquerque is included in that. I feel like such a chump right now. I guess that’s what I get for not shopping around though. I’m gonna be honest though, I feel bad for guys up in Chicago, they’re getting screwed. Any of you in a better position than I am?

Damn North Carolinan Mechanics!!!!!

It's not that much really, it just looks a lot as it's in silly dollars.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Understatement

80 dollars between the best and worst average.

Which is about 50 quid. What precisely is so shocking about that? The range seems pretty reasonable if you ask me. State to state will vary. Could not be less meaningful if you tried.

A better chart would be comparing actual garages in the same state.

Tell me about it, Honolulu mechanics are the bane of my life.

Prices will always vary and shopping around is only option we have against garages.

 

[Fuzz]

I smell BS

 

[Kitchster_uk]

It's ok, I am good mates with a local garage aroubd here, just let him know you're from the internetz and particularly ocuk and it'll be cheap as chips

I've got to start taking my car to memphis to have work done - I'd save a fortune!

80 dollars between the best and worst average.

Best average: $130
Worst average: $273

I make that $143 not $80

Snowdog is probably working out the maths as we speak.

I wish my repair bill quotes were that close from best to worst, when I was after a clutch for the 306 it was between £400 and £1200.

 

[eatcustard]

Next time shop around for a price

Crap wording on my part

I compared Rank 1 to Rank 50.
