I'm sure you know but I want to make emphasis on this, guys learn from my mistakes, when doing a major work on your car get the quote in writing, that way there is no misunderstanding.

I prefer to blame myself for not having a quote from the beginning in writing, next time I prefer to pay by the job and not by the hour, on the mechanic side I do have to recognize they did a good work, if I want to play I have to pay.
