Sounds like these "professionals" need a dose of attitude re-adjustment.
8 hours to take out a Spridget dash and replace a broken hinge is a
crock. One hour tops. Talk to the manager and if he is a big a moron as
his employees then flatbed the car straight out of there. You'll be glad
you did in the long run.
How the heck do you "break" a hinge anyway? Are they bullsh**ting you or
what?
