Please read the sticky post on the subject for details. We are also happy to advise on how you can save money at the shop. We are more than happy to help you figure out why a shop wants to charge you for a repair, and we will tell you if it is unusually high. Generally there is a good reason why a repair costs what it does. It is considered rude to ask, “Is the shop trying to fleece/rip me off?” You wouldn’t ask “Why are all cops pigs?” on /r/AskLeo, ask about Creationism on /r/AskScience, or talk about vaccines causing autism on /r/AskDocs. However, please observe rule #1 when asking for a second opinion. You may ask a second opinion on a quote/repair from a shop. If you have insurance/total loss questions please ask in r/insurance.
