Want to hear another funny one... he hee...
Had my ball joints done a few months ago (8 approx.) was told that I would need somethign done to the linkage or something (total newbie, didn't know better, ) said, okay, approox how much? they said around $200, okay I said, be back in a afew months to get it looked at.
Went back and got my new front end done (not by choice) and they said, you need your linkage thingy changed, I said sure, held up my Chilton book, I can do it now, I checked, then they siad, well it's a $20 part and about $30 labour, so I said, sure you didn't mean the $200 last time? grrrrrrrr...
