I had my neighbor, an actual mechanic do this to me. Had problems with my truck, wouldn't star. I asked him: Hey Red, Saturday would you find out whats wrong with my truck? I'll pay $30 and a six pack to find out whats wrong. "Dude, its shot, gonna cost you a new motor, way more than the truck is worth." Bought the truck from me for $300, sold it 4 days later running perfect for $3500. So, ya, it happens. I did get revenge, won't say how, but he ended up leaving the state over it.
