Not A Good First Impression. I went in for an estimate for a cooling hose replacement.

It was a heater hose that came directly off of the water pump.

First I was told that no such hose existed and that it was probably an engine plug or the water pump (red flag).

Once I insisted that such a hose did exist I was told it would be $50 labor to replace it, even though the hose is easily accessed when the car is lifted and is only about 4 inches long.

I can understand if they only want big jobs and want to discourage little ones, but it sounds like they possibly make little ones INTO big ones so I passed.

I did the repair myself and it took me about 10 minutes, and they lost an easy $30 bucks that I would have paid because I was feeling a bit lazy.
