I only use a shop when it’s going to take a LOT of time.

I’ve opened up my hood a few too many times to find a cap or extra bolts tucked in between the side of the hood and the weatherstrip.

Are duplicates from the new part? Did they assemble it and find they had extra fasteners (I know I have)?

Did they puncture my seat while they were in the car and then gaslight me?

I could go raise hell, but it’s difficult to prove these things and the mechanics I trusted have moved on to better careers in HVAC or elsewhere, so I just put on a podcast and do most of the work myself. It’s not so bad.
