The garage in Warsaw charged $400 for the shaft repair, and my mechanic charged an additional $140 for the shaft removal and installation, even though he had stated before taking the car in for repair that it would cost $80. When I asked why the service charge was higher, he replied that when the shaft support was previously replaced, the shaft wasn't completely removed, only half, which is why it cost $80. I asked the AI about this, who replied that this was not true, because replacing the shaft support requires removing the entire shaft. What are your thoughts on this? I wonder if the mechanic is not telling the truth or chatGPT is lying...

Unfortunately, the vibrations still occur at speeds of 40-50 km/h and around 1300 rpm. Since I've already performed so many repairs to eliminate the vibrations, and they're still there, it's probably an issue with the automatic transmission...
