I was pretty good at beating the book. Broken/stripped bolts are suppose to be charged extra for but it falls under ‘we can’t get them to pay for that!’ so it is very..very.. rare that a service writer would even try..
So.. ya.. a Mechanic would likely deal with that for free.
Drove me right out of it in to the tech sector. few hundred bucks worth of tools and 40-75 an hour :)
Nice, good job.
