Well, we can look it for $100 then tell you what it will cost to repair, then charge you for the repair.

Used to be, take a look for free, tell you it’ll be $100 to fix it, then fix it and charge you for it.

But that leaves an income opportunity out so we can’t have that.

You also may just not elect to fix it in which case they are out the diagnostic time, so I do understand that at some level.
