Message	Broken precat bolts Misc broken connectors Misc hoses that rip because they are so old Finding misc oil leaks I have a craigslist add that comes out local to me. Rear main replacement - $100 + parts Clutch replacement. - $150 + parts So this guy thinks its less time to change a rms vs a clutch. Do you really want this guy working on your car ? Engine rebuild for tt $1000 + parts Engine r & r. $500 Amazing ! You can find someone to work on cars for free. Ever since i opened my shop i have had kids asking to work for free so they could learn. Ummmn no , not happening on my customers cars sorry. Its not about gouging customers. Its about doing the job right and trying to make a fair living. I don't see e point of spending 40 hours on a project and charging for 10. Harry Formerly yellowzxtt
