If you do this without informing the customer that he will be footing
the bill prior to doing the work, then you are a thief and a part of the
reason why the motoring public in general distrusts the maintenance
industry. Perhaps you should consider a career selling shock absorbers
at Sears.

Re: Switching Head bolts
Well, they (the R&R guys) took the alternator off so there you go. At this
point I'm just happy to get the stupid thing home so I can review and
'correct' anything they might have done.
So not having my own place (garage) really hurts.
