when u repeair something, humans have to do it cos it;s a one-off job, and they have to take apart the thing first, then sort it out, then rebuild it. so it's at least 3 times as much work (remove, prepare, rebuild), plus the fact ppl work slower than robots.

...plus the fact that:

 

1. they will exaggerate how much time they spent

2. most of that time they were sitting on their fat arses anyway

3. they will charge you for a load of extra "fixes" that didn't need doing

 

Car mechanics, scum of the earth! (Well 90% of them!)

My pet hate is when they do a load of work without your authorisation, then land you with a big bill. Sadly most people don't have the scrot to challenge them!

I still have no idea how much it will cost. Dad obviously isnt that worried about it as he hasn't done anything about getting it fixed yet.

 

I'm no longer using his car, i daren't!!
