Years ago a guy I worked with stopped me on the way out one night and said the front seal was leaking on his trans. It was mid 70s olds, said two shops had given his a quote, wanted to know what I'd charge. The big maple in the back yard was my shop then, no over head, so I gave him a reasonable price, and got the job. I was ridding with another guy that day, so drove his car home, and he caught a ride with somebody. Jacked it up, rolled under it, dry as a bone under the converter cover, pulled the modulator hose off and trans fluid run out. Quick trip to the burdmans auto parts store, a quart of fluid, and he was ready to go. Dropped it off next morning where he caught rides, that night he said you get that fixed that quick? Yep sure did, ok, whats the bill, told him $15.00. But you told me $50.00, yeah, but it wasn't the seal, modulator was leaking, and now you won't see smoke when you fire it up in the morning. He gave me a $20, and I don't know how much work I got after that from people he told about that job. I never got rich from wrenching, ended up eating some jobs, but never cheated nobody.
