I met way more chitty, degenerate scumbags managing retail stores and in corporate america than i ever did when i was running tradie contracting companies or working at car lots.
There are plenty of good people working in cars but customers take these guys trying to make a living like its any worse than people selling gym memberships, cell phones or real estate.
Office cucks and retail ****s want to look down on tradies and people who actually work for a living while they let the neighbor phuck their wife and their kids dye their hair purple. I never knew that men got their butt holes waxed and their fingernails done till i started working in retail but you guys want to knock on the dude who swings a hammer or turns wrenches for a living lol

The same sins you talk about are also rampant among people in positions of higher class and sometimes their affects while may be fewer in count can have a larger impact.

Why are these people in this profession so ****ing sleazy?. Is it low IQ/tradie mentality, why do they feel like they are entitled to screwing people over and try to scam you at every turn?

Cars are a mystery and they're essential so they're one of the top ways to rape people, and they may not even know they're being raped.

Been to a local shop twice where they've quickly diagnosed and fixed issues on my suv within minutes without charge.
On the other hand, took my moto to the dealer to get the chain replaced and they inspected the whole bike and hit me with a $1700 maintenance estimate lol

See my thread in the automotive section lol.
I have 18 yr old car.
I'm getting charged $1100 for Upper Control Arms and Wheel alignment. I searched for upper control arms and they good ones can be had for $150 each.
He also gave me a $950 estimate for new calipers, brakes, and rotors. I'm really tempted to do it all myself. Car misc gave me a bit of confidence not to be scared working on my own car

How much should an alternator cost to replace?
I live in an apartment complex so literally not even allowed to work on my car here. Lol, now it won't start and it was showing signs of bad alternator before (dim and flickering lights, radio cutting in and out). Stupid because I just changed the battery and now its drained and dead. My car insurance will tow it for free but it HAS to be to a certified shop.
Car is a 73' Chevy Nova SS. I'm thinking it should be around $500 or so.

The point of every single business on earth: provide as little as possible for the most amount of money possible.

It's not even the fact that they charge high for labor, they deserve to be compensated for the work. It's when they literally lie to you and tell you to have service done that you don't need or to replace **** that isn't broken.

Animal surgery is another matter, and typically there are a few 'specialists' for each different breed to the point where people will fly halfway across the country to have a certain vet perform on their pet.
