If a mechanic told me that it would be "no more than $1000" to fix wheel
pants, I'd go get them and take a crack at it, before he touches them.
Thats' just plain (or plane) crazy.

While I agree with you, the odds of me having days -- or even hours -- free
to take a crack at fixing them are slim and none.
