Dear
Grizzly: Susan is Suspicious of Her Auto Mechanic
How do I know they are not just trying to take
advantage of me because I am a single woman?
-- Susan Sincerely Suspicious in Spokane Washington
DEAR
SINCERELY SUSPICIOUS SUSAN: Let me start out by saying that your fears
of being taken advantage of by an auto mechanic because you are a single woman are completely unfounded. I can assure you, auto mechanics take advantage of anyone
regardless of their gender or marital status. When I was young, it was nothing
for me to tear down my own engine in my driveway and in a matter of no time, a
tow truck would be there to haul it off to the junk yard. As for your estimate,
any time it starts with, ‘Once upon a time . . .’ you should be wary. On your
estimate I would question such items as: tuning your radio; lubricating your
rear end, (though that is a legitimate charge in Bangkok), change the air in
your tires with a scent of potpourri; flush your differential, yank your crank
… shaft; rotate your headlights; and align your cam-a-fram. For now, you need
to get a second opinion and not from the mechanic standing next to the one who
gave you this estimate. In the future, for your automotive requirements, I say
forget about ‘Mister Right,’ and marry ‘Mister Good-Wrench.’
Signed:
Grizzly ‘greasy’ Gus
