Any other good mechanic would too.

A specialist or specialist team does care because if they stuff up it's their ass but your average mechanic probably just wants your car out of his workshop. 2

Why pay, say $200, for something you could do, but may take twice the time? I know money makes the world go round but hey if I can do the job just as well, be stuffed if I'm paying. May sound like I'm a tight arse but I'd rather put that money towards other (or more) mods Any broken pieces usually aren't passed onto the owner, just shove it away, cover it up and forget it ever happened. When it's your own car, there's alot more care imo..

Not too expensive. Say $10 or something and the money goes to the forum So all the guys who join up just for the video (if it was made free to view on the net) and leech it and not donate!
