Ok, so I have a miata with a defunct AC and power steering system. With all the defunct parts removed, around 70lbs could be shaved off.
I took it in to my mechanic to get it removed. We agreed on a price of $100.
After he said he was done, I noticed he hasn't taken out the condenser, nor the power steering reservoir.
I asked him about it and why he didn't take it out. He mentions that it's a lot of work and that it's when AC is mentioned, the condenser isn't really assumed to be part of that.
Then I mentioned that it's part of the AC, and I originally told him I wanted to take out the AC and the power steering that didn't work anyways to save weight.
He called me a jew for being a cheapass, but then proceeded to take it out. The condenser really only took him about 3 minutes to take out. So much for a lot of work.
Was I being unreasonable, or should I avoid this guy? I always thought he was a pretty kewl guy. Builds racecars, and has a passion for cars, and doesn't afraid of anything. But WTF?!
