"Rape and pillage" seems to be the motto of every tradesman you care to name. No one works honestly for a decent wage anymore. Everyone wants the big paycheck right now.
Car dealers are no different. Don't get me started on mechanics. Lawyers are completely corrupt in their billing practices. And I have had more shyte meals in expensive restaurants lately, than I care to remember.
It really is the way of the world.

Just wondering but why would you agree to pay a plumber $200 to come to your house and tell you they can't make the repair??
I charge a min of $50 to come and then waive that fee if customer agrees to have repair performed
If I told my customers it is a min of $200 to come out I would not be in business very long
Just sayin but I think there is a little more to that story
It bugs the **** out of me when people say Plumbers are con artists,I think home owners believe that if they pay me whatever to fix something that that money goes right in my pocket
The overhead in the plumbing business is extremely high and the cost of running a business in todays world crazy
For example may fuel bill alone is $7000 a month and I operate a small family business with two trucks on the road
