So the other day while I'm at work, my friends grandfather calls me and tells me he is broken down in connecticut because his car shut off on the highway. He get's towed to the closest garage. After 2 hours they tell him he needs a fuel pump and fuel filter. Grand total- $800.
I told him to have his wife turn the key on while he was near the trunk to listen for the pump to run, it did. Told him to tow it back to mass to my work. They made him wait 4 hours for their tow truck to get back from some call.
They drop off the car at night, and I go in the next morning, 2 codes for MAF problems. Pulled the Maf off and it had a little debris in it. Cleaned it with electronics spray and was out in 10 mins. Basic diagnostics skills here.
Seriously, how are you gonna do that to an 80 yr old man and his wife?
