I got lazy and took my truck to my mechanics to have him replace the brakes and adjust my hissing thermostat hose. Turns out my hose wasn't leaking he says my timing chain cover is. Quoted me at almost $1,000 I told him no that's ok ill fix it when I do my plenum and chain at the first of next year. So a day off work $340 dollars later I have new brakes and lost more than $340 dollars all for being to lazy.

 

When i was lazy once i got screwed for 2500 bucks for a job that i could have done for ohh about 2300 cheaper. Its always better to try and do about everything you can on your own.

 

Ya I could have very easily done it myself in about an hr. I figured he'd be faster I couldn't of been more wrong

 

You work on one vehicle at a time. (for the most part.) Mechanics in shops try and have as many going at a time as possible, so, while they are waiting for something like rotors/drums on the brake lathe, they can be working on something else, and basically doubling their time. (I hated working flat rate.)
