Finding a mechanic is hard, every time I use one I don't go back..
You think being an Audi makes the price go up? Apparently something that floats does too.
I was recently quoted $400 plus parts to service my Mercruiser powered ski boat!
Essentially a vortec chev, so an oil change, filters and grease the prop shaft gland,
I did it myself in 45mins and about $60 for oil and filters.
