my cell phone "hands free". They didn't even know it could be done, and once I showed them the information from the Saab Shop Manual, the service manager I talked to estimated something in excess of $400 in labor alone.
Got it done later for less than $100.
Left with the distinct feeling that they couldn't be trusted to do work at a fair and reasonable cost.
The insurance companies got in trouble with the state for "redlining" Detroit. Trouble is that auto theft in the city is very high. Claims tend to run high as a result. So, while redlining is technically illegal, they've found other contrivances to jack up the rates for Detroiters. My insurance is pretty low, due in part to my having a "Platinum" credit card. I never cared what "color" my credit card was, but somehow, having it entitles me to a 15-20% break on my insurance rate. Basically they've found a correlation to accident/claim rates and have convinced the state it is a basis for rate setting. There's really no cause and effect relationship, but it helps them keep the rates higher among the generally less affluent city dwellers.
IMO, it stinks.
