Pro tip: the mechanic who fixed my $600 brake job taught me more about money than any app
He looked at my quote, circled the $180 "shop supplies" fee, and said "that's not parts, buddy, that's their boat payment" right there at the counter in Toledo, so now I ask for the line item breakdown on everything big, and I'm wondering if anyone else has caught a junk fee like that just by asking one dumb question out loud.
