Clay bars scratch clear coat, huh? Dude at Jiffy Lube told me brake fluid was a scam.

5 years of throwing in $50?? That would've killed me.

The part about "threw a new board in it, done in 10 minutes" hit me hard. I had a washing machine last month where the timer was acting up, and I spent all this time checking the lid switch and the belt tension, even pulled the whole top off to look at the wiring. Then my brother, who doesn't even do this full time, just ordered a generic board off Amazon for thirty bucks and it fixed the thing in five minutes flat. I still feel that gut punch when I hand over a bill that says I charged three hours of labor for what turned out to be a fifteen minute swap. But the funny thing is, that same board is probably gonna die again in a year because it's cheap junk, and then the customer's gonna call me back, and I'll have to explain why I didn't catch it the first time. So I'm stuck in this weird spot where I know the multimeter is the right way, but the clock on the truck is always telling me to just zip it up and go.
