I mentioned to a coworker that I was spending $1200 getting something fixed on my van.  His reply, “I could have gotten it done for you for half that amount.”  Interesting statement since I didn’t say what work I was actually doing on the car and why did he ass(u)me I wasn’t already getting it for half the price?  Prior to making that kind of statement, a little info might be advisable before you make an offer to get it cheaper.  Plus sometimes, cheaper an’t always better, you can get what you pay for in too many ways that aren’t necessary in your favor.
