Cheaper in Redondo

I had my car in for rear brakes. Chatting with my mechanic about car expense and how long we've known each other. Someone else brings in their car and one of the guys asks what's wrong?

Oh "service engine soon light." I jokingly say they will install those for free.

I drive to the supermarket and I notice the "service engine soon light" is on. Oh no. Obvious karma.

So I take it back and tell them. They are checking it out and find a vacuum system hose that is supposed to take the fumes from the gas tank and reburn it out the exhaust. He asked me what I paid for the last job, the effing intake manifold in Carson City. I told him and he said that they forgot to reconnect the vacuum hose and I could have done it cheaper in Redondo.
