Bad stories, Large Bills, Faulty Repairs, Violence and what have you.
When I was younger and mechanically inept, My Cub Cadet 125 needed a Carburetor Rebuild, and I didn't have the skills to do it (or so I thought) and my dad didn't have the time. We brought it to a local repair shop and they charged us $150 +/- for a Carb Rebuild and Adjustment on the tractor, and a tune up, which only consisted of an Oil Change (They left my Spark Plug, Points and Air Filter alone!). We got the thing home and it wouldn't even start. It sat as is for 5 years, give or take until I learned the skills I have today to get it up to par. Now it has a rod knock (that I swear it didn't have before I brought it to this guy...) and needs a rebuild. I'll be doing that MY SELF!
