it'll take 15 minutes to install.

Aren't the inter-webs wonderful? Maybe they'll finally make honest men out of those repair guys.

I agree 100% with you, although in fairness to the repair people, that fix would require two visits to fix, one to diagnose and order part, and a second to install it. Lots of overhead in that. But the internet has been great, from repairing cars to small appliances.
