Oh great! Now Lars is getting "combinatorial"! I might as well quit right now!

And to SBurn - do you get charged for "service" if they put air in your tires (I bet)? It's one way to help a business in this economy, I suppose. That bit about the paint is just over the top, isn't it?

I haven't heard of anybody getting charged for getting air in their tires, at least as a separate line item on a repair order. But I don't know any auto shops in the charity business, so I'm sure the shop owner covers his expenses for this State rule somewhere in the general shop rate.

We also have pay separate "disposal fees" on the used oil they drain out and on the old tires they take off. And, we pay an extra few cents per quart on the new oil and a buck or two per new tire for fund those schemes.

Got to find some way to charge for the electricity used to capture air and pressurize it!

In SD we even have the service disposal fees on tires and oil changes.
Then if you get into big tires there are DOT taxes assessed.
Thank goodness we don't have emission testing yet but on motorcycles they do perform random noise emission checks.
