I recently got a quote from my auto mechanic on repairing my car. Wow! his quote was expensive!
Yeah, repairing cars can be expensive. What kind of car do you have?
It's a Buick, with a bit different type of an engine. Perhaps, it's because he specializes in that make, and the type of engine.
Ah, yeah, have you looked at youtube and see if you could repair it yourself? Sometimes the fix is pretty easy to do it yourself.
No way that I could, but at least my auto mechanic was quick to diagnose the problem.
Ah, ok. Well it is good you have a good mechanic. I got a mechanic I go to if I can't fix the problem. Did he have to order the parts or is it a quick fix?
Yes, he had to order the replacement part, but he said it would still be done in a day. Pretty quick, is your guy?
Nice that is pretty fast. Yeah my guy is usually pretty quick unless he has to order the part but that is pretty rare. He charges pretty reasonable rates too since he's an independent  mechanic.
Well, I'm lucky to have a warranty, but went ahead and scheduled some preventive maintenance on some parts that I'm sure are about ready to be replaced. I'm sure you agree that's important?
Yeah, preventive maintenance is super important. It's easier and cheaper to fix a small problem than to wait until it grows to be a major problem.
