5. They don't need to be fleeced

What they often want is the convenience of paying $100 or $200 (or less) for something that the garage charges $500 for.

They deserve it. And they're being robbed of what's theirs by right by what they're charged. Doesn't matter that they can do the work themselves. Or that they agree to the estimate. They're owed and they're angry, dammit.

(This only works one way. They deserve not just every cent they earn, but they're also being ripped off by their employer who should pay them more. Because they're owed and they're angry, dammit.)
