I refer to my escapades as "Beating the Man." Telling me something cannot be fixed is a red cape in front of a bull. Last summer Volvo told me they could not turn the rotors on my brakes. Just fork over 1200-1500 for a full brake job. WTF? I checked the calipers with a micrometer, they were barely worn. Found a guy to turn them for me. 40 bucks felt far better than 1400 and they work just fine. I have to replace the oil cooler on my 1984 Mazda diesel pickup at some point. Will Beat the Man on that one too!
