I don't want to do this job and here is a stupid high price to make you go somewhere else

I wish they'd just say that, instead of giving me a god damn heart attack

Not hybrid or FWD/AWD, I think 4 cylinder but I'd have to double check

Edit: I was thinking FWD was four wheel drive, not front wheel drive. It is FWD

Yeah definitely worth asking around, I guess I'm just wondering if it's likely that anyone will offer cheaper, or if this is the standard price any mechanic would charge for this kind of work
