The bottom line is....if you feel you're being taken by your mechanic,
take
your maintenance dollar somewhere else.

Thanks for the input, John. (You really *do* need to de-lurk here more
often.... ;-)

I have taken my business elsewhere in the past, when I truly felt I was
being ripped off. However, my current mechanic is an incredible guy, has
taken us out on his boat, has welded things for me, gratis, has helped me
bead-blast P-51 parts for our Mustang Suite, gratis. The list of favors
goes on an on.

He works ten times faster than the "corporate" shop on the field, although
perhaps not in this isolated case.

I will stick with him through one bad experience.
