Oh, and please do not tell the mechanic (or anyone else) your life's story unless they ask you to. Pay what stuff costs and don't gripe about it, so that someday we get raises
If the mechanic does a quickie repair, don't ask "do I owe you anything," but rather get out your wallet and ask what it comes to. And if they say "hey, no charge bro, we know ya," then ask if there's a tip jar
