Prices
The price comes first
Nothing gets taken apart before you know what it costs. That is the whole rule, and it has not changed since the first version of this business.

Why a real quote beats a price list
Two cars with the same problem rarely cost the same to fix. A brake job on a small sedan and a brake job on a loaded truck are different parts, different hours and different money.
So the useful thing is not a list. It is a text with your year, make and model and what the car is doing, and a real number back for that car. That takes a few minutes and it is free.
The warranty
Joe puts a 12 month warranty on the work he does. Brake pad replacement carries 18 months. That has been the promise since the first version of this business and it has not moved.
