Agree. When I showed up, there was not much talking. Just two seasoned guys steadily working in the heat with no fans going. I asked if they could get to me today, asked if I needed an appointment and then I asked price. He said it is custom job so he could not give me an exact price (said "maybe $85"), they could get to me today, appointments don't work and, if I like, I could hang around. Happy to say I decided to just hang out. After sitting down and visiting for a bit after they finished, the cash price was $50 for the work. Maybe the most satisfying part was watching two brothers, who have worked with each other for probably 55 to 60 years, working on and off the same car without speaking. One would handle a customer and the other would continue his brother's work while he was away. By the way, one fan is broken a the other started smoking so they turned it off.
