Over here in Perth, there are a lot of mechanics who won't look at your car unless you agree to pay their minimum set price, which normally is 2 hours, I have seen as low as minimum $45.00 just for a look, and if they do something to fix your car they discount you the $45.00 of the number of hours they are working on it.. Hense the reason I have never set foot in any mechanic workshops myself. Bugger that. Do the job myself and spend the rest on other bits I need, or want. Later.
