Free Mechanic Quotes?

Hi - can anyone tell me if mechanics issue free quotes? I have a clunking sound on my car which I want to get checked out, but a friend tells me it is a specific thing that needs fixing and I want to confirm this.

Cheers

    I very much doubt it, you should get an estimate but a quote could be difficult. Imagine what woul happen if he gave his best diagnosis and that was wrong or something even more simple like a bolt shearing.


    Having said that he might be able to put his finger on the problem straight away so you could get lucky.

    What is the car and what is the clunking?

    I once asked a friend this question....

    The answer was:

    "A red Ford" and "the back" :rotfl:
