We're not arguing, we are debating!
As for the hoist fee I agree fully, it was pulled on me one day, I mentioned in another thread getting a defect for a bald tyre?..it was my spare, full thread across but the "chicken strip" was bare.
Cost $172 to have inspected, while on the hoist I asked could he change oil?...he said I will have to lower hoist, move car, and put it back on for the oilchange ( this is a one man show )
I said how much then and it was $145 including oil!
I said its already up and I have paid you to do the inspection already, he said its $90 to lift, I said has my car passed and he said yes, and I said I thought he was a thief, fleet customers ok but not pensioners!
