The man thanked him and after hanging up the phone, moved on to the next mechanic in the book. Again, he explained what was going on with his car and asked if he could fix it. Again, the mechanic said he might be able to fix the car but the man would have to bring it in. When the man asked how much it might cost to fix, the mechanic said, “$575.”

“Ok,” the man said. “But are you sure you can fix it?”

“Not until I see it,” the mechanic replied. “I’ll have to hook it up to our computer, run diagnostics on the motor, exhaust system, electrical system, then make sure I have the correct tools and parts, and then see if we have time to do it.”

The man hung up and went to three more mechanics in the book and got the exact same response from each one. Finally, he came upon the last mechanic in the book. He explained to him what was going on and asked if he could fix it. The mechanic said he could, and when asked how much it would cost, he said, “$150.”
