When I have car problems. Yeah, you heard it. Flat tires. Time for an oil change. Transmission isn't working right. Especially when it's a cheap part and simple fix.
The shop labor charges are four times the cost of the part and I know if the Gear Head Ex were still around it would be fixed in a flash for CHEAP. Instead I have to shop around from auto place to auto place looking for an honest mechanic who won't take try to charge me for a new transmission when all I need is a shifter cable. A CABLE not the whole transmission.
You would thing that the days of women wearing a bulls eye on their forhead as an easy mark for quick money for mechanics would be long gone, but it's not. Three auto shops wanted $1200, $300, and $250. The one honest mechanic I found charged $100 for the part and the labor. Too bad I spent anothe $15.00 driving around town getting estimates.
