My son is a mechanic and has his own shop/parts store in partnership with another man. People are always telling me how fortunate I am to be able to get free auto repair and even free parts.
I always point out that I love my son and I pay him at least the going rate for any repair work that he does for me. I also pay full price for all parts. In return, he looks out for my vehicles, advises me on needed repairs, fixes problem "B" while he's working on nearby problem "A", and so on. He has enough shysters to deal with without adding his dad to the list.
I have an aquaintance (won't call him a friend) who has a nephew who is a mechanic. I've seen nephew work on this guy's car all afternoon, and the guy will bring him a half dozen roasting ears or a little sack of tomatoes to show his appreciation. Nephew is lucky to get paid for the parts. What a jerk! It takes two - a shyster and a shystee - for this to happen. Either one can stop it at any time.
My son charges this guy extra so he won't have to deal with him, and also to make up for being shysted by him in the past.
