Yeah, that's bullshit, but one time, i was in a city i wasan't familiar with, and my starter went out. It was the middle of winter and about 5 degrees, and i had no tools, jack stands, etc, so i had to have somebody do it. The shop said it was the starter, and i thought, perfect, 250-350 and I'll be good to go. But NO, they fucking charged me 505dollars for a goddamn starter for a fucking four cylinder escort. Fuckin a. I gave them a little piece of my mind when i left, because i doesn't want to piss them off before they fixed my car, lol. But still, that's bs.
