And as for the costs I'm quoting for individual repairs on my car, I'm only doing so for your curiosity about what it's like in Poland. I hope I explained it as simply as possible. I hope you didn't mean to mock me, because that's unbecoming even for an American.
Oh, and by the way, I also treat this forum as a backup service documentation for my car; I describe each fault and repair in a separate thread.
First, I don't mock people, second I am just curious about parts/labor local exchange rate to USD in Poland, third, many people who don't do their own repairs either cannot do them because of the lack of tools/space or are hesitant to explore saving monies (and then) usually get a lot of satisfaction of doing something new with just a little effort and encouragement. I have no idea what made you think I was mocking but if you point it out I can review it and correct as needed (nothing I say or do is intended to insult or mock, just trying to gather information). I parsed my reply just before your post, I could not see anything offensive or mocking, but I may have missed it. All the best for your repairs.
