My engine rattled for a few seconds every cold morning. The tech showed me where the chain had stretched and quoted a price before starting. I picked the car up the next day, and the bill matched the quote.
The rear brakes kept squealing. The tech pulled the wheel while I watched and showed me the worn pads and seized slide pins. Done in an hour while I had a coffee.
