Free labour.

NO!

I took autoshop in high school- NEVER take your car to a highschool autoshop. The kids will screw it up because they're kids who don't care.

Guess it's different in Canadian schools...

Kidding, of course.

But I'm taking an auto class right now, and from what I've seen, everyone's carefull.

Or you could try the local community college, I bet they'd do it right.

I don't have a problem paying a reputable mechanic. I'm quite mechanically inclined, it's just that I'm getting to old to be crawling in and under vehicles. Not to mention that I just don't have the collection of tools I once had when I was in my 20's and full of piss n vinegar.

Wrong.

They don't make money by lying and ripping people off. In fact, that is illegal.

My room mate in college once told me he had a guy clueless about cars come in and start being a jerk about his bill and what he thought needed to get done, etc. Because he was being anal retentive, my room mate added the follwoing charge: "have the ball bearings in the muffler replaced".
