It's not about sucker.
It's about rock and a hard place, and being exploited.
Bald guy just got quoted $20k and his engine is in pieces.
What would you advice the bald owner should do?
But how is this remedied?
Everyone says you can't get a quote until everything is apart. And only then they know what it needs.
Captive buyer over a barrel. At that point, he can say $20k for a top end. He knows your only recourse is to tell him to reassemble, pay him $5k in labor, and drive away and start over.
Just like when your car breaks down out of state and is towed to a local station. They've got you. Either pay $1000 for the $200 repair, or pay $500 for a tow, and still need the repair.
