Mechanic from Michigan

You can only pass so much on to a customer. As a mechanic, our labor rates are a little bit high because cars are more complicated to work on, to diagnose. So we try to help a customer by getting parts at a discount. Now with these 25% going up, it's not much we can help. And we're scared that customers will put off their repairs.

Hopefully not too long, but we just don't know what's going to happen.
