So I went to my mechanic to have my car aligned and have my dipstick thrown back in all the way (long story). So He says you can come at 1 and my friend drops me off at 12. Much to my delight he says that its almost done and they just need to throw your dipstick in he block all the way. I sit there and watch it get throw on the lift and say o this will take 10mins. So an hour later he comes to me and says we couldnt get your dipstick in because your starter is in the way. I asked him why he didnt just drop the start and he tells me that my 3" Y is in the way of the starter dropping all the way. I say alright dont worry about it right now and have him write the charge up.

Ok now to finish

He comes back and says I have to charge you something for them trying to do this dipstick. My point is that it takes 10mins to throw a car up on a lift and realise you cant get the starter out. I'm basically pissed because instead of telling me after they did it they waited pretty much exactly an hour staring at it before they told me. It just doesnt seem right that you run into a problem and for some reason wait an hour to tell the person who is sitting right there. If I had known it was going to take dropping the Ypipe i would have said forget it... Plus this is the same shop that gave me a $250 quote to put a gas guage sender in and charged me $500. Long story short they took an hour to do something that should take 10mins and it just seems fishy, almost like they did it on purpose so they could charge me.
