I researched on the internet and discovered a lot of people replace those orange sidemarkers with clear ones because they look better. So I bought a couple side markers for $60. I just installed them which took me all of 5 minutes to do. Now I feel pretty accomplished yet pretty stupid for paying $167 in labor for 5 minutes of work.
A couple of months ago our driveway gate stopped working so looked up gate companies on Yelp. Found one nearby and they said it needed new batteries. So said ok - they changed them for the low price of $563, including $380 for the 2 batteries and $180 labor. I paid it but when I looked up the cost of batteries on Amazon they go for $35 each
Tried complaining to the company to no avail. Talk about feeling stupid
