So you won't work on the wife's car due to martial issues. Just exactly what kind of issues could cause you to pay for shoddy/ripoff mechanic shop work?

I dont work on HER car cause if I broke it I'd never hear the end of it.
She was fuming once when it took me 2 hours to change 5 of the plugs in her explorer and 3 more hours to change the last one. My hands were bloody and mangled from working in a small space (note: I didn't realize till the last 15 minutes of working that I could remove the wheel well cover and have complete access to the plug) and It was quite dificult for me to do.
Since then I don't work on her cars because they are HER cars. Its a little more complicated then that but other married men might be able to agree with me.
thanks for the advice though. You guys have actually convinced me to take this the next step. the engine itself though is under warrenty though for another 60K miles so that might hinder my argument.
