Can it be repaired?

[dr. d]

Maaayus yan. Bantayan mo lang pra sure na tama ang paglatero hindi tapal-tapal ang gagawin. Medyo mahal yung 45k pero kung wala Kang bang shop option dyan sa lugar mo, then I hope you get your money's worth. Goodluck!

while parts replacement is a tangible amount,
car fixers are like artists. their skills are something of an art.
if we get uncomfortable whenever someone makes tawad to the bone our fees,
the same with lateros and pintors.

there is this cartoon strip (which i paraphrase)...
the costumer was rattling out to the manager, the counter prices of the various parts and consumables, and comparing them to the cost of repair he felt he was being overcharged with.
the manager's retort: "my apologies. i did not know m'sieu was refering to the do-it-yourself price."


we can make bantay all we want.
but if we have no idea of what it's all about...
heh heh.
