I did some work (I'm a carpenter) for a mechanic once and he asked me to fix his back gate seeing as I was already here. Gave him a low price (would only take me 20 minutes tops to be fair; would've done it for beer even) and he accused me of trying to rip him off. K fine. My timing belt squeaks but I have a new one on my back seat. I'll fix your gate if you swap out the belt. He thought that was worth charging me $75 plus fixing his gate apparently. Reminding him that I'll fix his gate for free if he changes the belt was met with a "fuck you, I have a family to feed." Whatever, enjoy your lopsided sagging gate then. 20 minutes of my time for 20 minutes of his seemed fair to me.
