I agree - mechanics do have actual things to do - I'm sure it wasn't a *literal* 5 minute job. But even at $100 per hour, its still priced…

Ok - what if they don't budge - they still have the car + deposit. Any recourse if we pay the bill that we can do after?

My partner's car wouldn't start the other day, and upon trying to start it - fuel would gush out the bottom. Worried, she called a…

So uninsured people are *literal* money bags, as far as this type of stuff goes?
