Update: An Icelandic mechanic just decided to charge us about $350 (if not more) for a job that he quoted us at $80 for, earlier in the day. It was supposed to be a routine fan replacement, but ended up taking a lot more work... and a vehicle lift, which he didn't have. So he sent it to his friend to work on it. Did he think to call and check with me before doing that? Nope. I could've taken it to a cheaper place, if I had known how much work it would really be (if the guy had a clue in the first place). Customer service, anyone??
Iceland is kicking my butt, repeatedly. People here drive me nuts.
EDIT: Holy crap, Brewmaniac. I got nuthin' after that...
that's damn justified bitchin', if you ask me.
