Reminded me of one from long ago.

There was an exhaust leak that was coming through to the cabin of the Jeep. After driving for a while both me and my partner got so sleepy that we HAD to pull over and shut off the engine. It was rainy winter so windows were up while driving.

That event motivated me to take it to a shop and they diagnosed a leak originating at the manifold, and attributed it to a failed exhaust gasket. After hearing that, I okayed replacement of the gasket and the one on the other side.

About 2 hours later I got a call back and the shop’s SA stated that they broke a stud while removing the bolts for the manifold, and would need to bill me I don’t remember how much for using an easy out to remove the broken stud.

That was fine by me.

Then he said, that if I didn’t okay replacement of all the studs, they just might break more studs while removing them, requiring the same bill for each broken stud. I didn’t debate the veiled threat and told them to go ahead.

Last time I went to that shop.
