Cracked foglight on my SLK.

LoneStar quotes $226
Hyatt quotes $202

Girlfriend drives down to pick up foglight. Service/Parts say they can work on it right away, cost = 1 hour labor at $110 or whatever. Too expensive so she goes to TireCraft (our sponsor) and Mike takes a quick look at it. 5 mins later and she's gone, yes that includes pulling the car in and out of the bay.

TireCraft :thumbsup:
Hyatt :thumbsdow :rofl:

You went to a dealership after you were quoted 30min-1 hour?

Nice work.
