jesus man, $170
my mechanic told me 1,200. f'kin great deal huh?

Mechanic: I could deffinatly do the install, but i'd have to do it at the Lexus factory rate, which should be around 1,200...
Me: Well uh, if its the same price.. why won't i take it to an authorized lexus dealership and not have to worry about it...
Mechanic: Because i can probably do it faster
Me: Well then.. it should be cheaper? not the same price
Mechanic: No i can't do it for less than what Lexus would do it for.
Me:lol, cya
