These are a rare breed. When you find one, make sure you save the digits.
About two weeks ago, I took my pony to the local oil/lube franchise for the three month oil change. I wasn't surprised when they told me it was time for new brakes and rotors with an estimate of $399. I could do that; however, every penny scrimped and saved is a penny towards a visit to my daughter.
I called the mechanic who lives way out where God lost his shoe, and he said he could do the job for $200, $225 tops. Plenty enough savings to justify the ride out to the boondocks.
Well, guess what. My car is ready and the total cost is $149. Don't tell his wife, but I am guilty of secretly being in luv with my grease monkey.
