Your engine needs new head gasket and the transmission is needed to rebuild, and by the way, my kid starts college this year.
Click & Clack-still CRAZY after all these years!!
How about another?
"The good news is that all your car needs is a ten buck relay to make it run again. I wouldn't feel right charging you more than twenty bucks to diagnose a known problem and plug a new one in."
"The bad news is that every other car like yours has needed to have the same relay replaced, the factory in Shanghai they were made in burned down last week, and I don't have an ETA for the part. Sorry."

"You know that $1,200 you saved by buying a manual transmission instead of an automatic? You're about to spend it on your first clutch replacement."
Sounds like they do not like standards.

The ones yall make up are great to!
We found out what's wrong with you engine, it was a $50 sensor... and the final bill comes to... $500.
Mechanic: "Yeah, we can get this non-OEM replacement belt tensioner you want in, we just have to make some modifications"
Customer: "That's great, I'll save $65 on the part, have at it!"
*three days pass*
Mechanic: "OK, the modifications to your engine block cost $90 per hour of machine shop labor and added $360 to your bill, plus we had to order some replacement brackets because they wouldn't fit your non-OEM part, so that's another $268, and we broke a couple bolts off in the engine block so we had to drill those out and we cracked it from the timing cover straight around to the head. But since you wanted non-OEM parts, we're not responsible for the damages."
Customer: "But you said it would be cheaper this way!"
Mechanic: "No, *YOU* said it would be cheaper this way. By the way, I can get you a factory remanufactured long block engine for $2860 installed, or you can have this other one for $2150 installed. Pick one."
*disclaimer...I made this up...never happened to me...never will
