You should try to build a repoire with the mechanic so you don't get f'd like this again. And by a repoire I mean conversing with the dude and making him like you enough to where he won't screw you. Doing this has definitely saved me money and gotten me discounts on oil changes and whatnot.

Pardon my nittishness, but I think you meant to type repore, which is the more standard mangling of the word rapport.
