Mine was yesterday, I bought a papa john’s pizza of medium size and some garlic knots. I was feeling like shit because my job and store is very good at that, so I stress ate. I contemplated in the car which would’ve been more valuable for my buck to dine with. I picked pizza.
$20 (more like $27 but I took away the price of the knots) was what it cost for a meats-based medium sized pizza from there. The problem I had with the pizza was that it didn’t look like a medium, it looked like the smaller-end of a medium. Secondly, the person cutting the slices did a shit job, because I had two smaller slices than the rest. And I felt there wasn’t enough meats spread evenly.
I honestly should’ve picked a chinese buffet because at least I would have variety and I could eat as much as I wanted. Plus saving a few dollars.
This is the first and last time I’m ordering something out of my comfort budget.
1k is excessive for looking over your car.
That’s because dealerships are scammers. I used to pay $108 for a simple synthetic oil change. Wal-Mart did it for $71.
My dealership wants like $1,000+ for brake/rotor pad service. Other places around charge at least a few hundred dollars cheaper.
I learned that going the mechanics route is better and that’s not saying there are no scammy mechanics, because there are. But once you find someone who’s fair and knows their shit? Give them your business.
We had an excellent mechanic before he moved cities. He would only charge what he said he would even if it took a bit longer and I heard he had fixed a few old peoples cars for free.
Honda dealers near us are now like $165-180 an hour and parts are ridiculous. I just do the work myself. $25 part online and 5 hours my free labour, instead of the $2000 Honda quoted
I take my first experience at a motorcycle dealership as a baseline. To work on my bike they charged £55/h labour for the two of them. So I just think, minimum wage x 3 per person is a good price for mechanics. Now it’d be about £75.
