I've never experienced a mechanic that charges "book time". All mechanics here typically advertise their hourly rates someplace near the counter.

Then again, I've never gone to the BMW dealer for repairs, its too far away!

All that being said, my last trip to my INDY Mechanic kinda failed me. This was the first time but it did hapen. They said a creeking noise was from my rotors, mind you the noise doesn't sound like a rotor noise. Another mechanic today quickly looked at it and said its probably something that connects to my sway bar.

This was the first time my current INDY mechanic fucked up.
