reason i dont do repair work for people anymore. and hey, not trying to thread jack, maybe its me, but over the years, it seems like the general population is getting dumber and dumber on ANYTHING to do about auto repair/maintenance. i can understand if your not a "car guy/girl" but there is a limit to how stupid ill allow you to be about the subject. i know people that dont know how to add oil. REALLY. or (and this is for scott) the people dont know the difference between a timing belt and a serpentine belt. But there in a auto store asking for the part anyway. Or they dont even know what year car they are driving. eh, anyw2ay, your buddy sounds like one of these people. if a person doesnt know jack about a car, i just wont do the work anymore.
