I have gotten burned too by helping friends out before. After the last time, I decided that if anyone wanted help, that they would need to come by on my schedule and be prepared to get dirty. I show them how to diagnosis the problem and when we find it, let them do all of the work to fix it with guidance. If they don't like this approach, I tell them to pay someone to do it for them because I don't have time to do free work, but only have time to teach others to help themselves. Seems to be working so far.
