Absurd quotes from car places

Sorry you’re poor

Who the frick pays that?

Women and soy boys.

Probably a .5-1 hour minimum labor charge

I didn’t mean I’d charge her, I meant it would only cost me a couple bucks to buy the bulb.

I pay 15 dollars to have a single keyless battery changed on my key ring at the Honda place.

i just found out I can buy 5 of those batterys at walmart for under 10 bucks and do it myself.

Thankfully she called and I said I could change it for a couple bucks,

Way to pull together as a team.

You’d be surprised at the level of bullshiterequired to do simple basic shite on modern cars.

I'm pretty sure the workers at O'reilly's would have changed it for her.

Had a dealership offer me a battery service for $75. I asked what is that? Service manager stated they would clean the terminals and spray them with battery terminal corrosion inhibitor/protectant. I refused and cleaned the terminals myself. A can of protectant cost me $5.

To be fair, some of that extra cost goes into paying for overhead you don't have to worry about, such as:

Maintaining any extra equipment they use (whether they use it for your job or not)
Rent on the property they are using
Paying for insurance and taxes on the labor
The cost of standing by the repair if the first attempt doesn't work
The cable TV they have blaring in the waiting room

etc.

Not saying it's worth $86, just saying more goes into it than a couple of bucks for a bulb and free labor on your part.
