You did not "save" the difference between the $400 and the $125 charged. You may have even lost money on the deal if you are a high wage earner.

Just food for thought.
you make a valid point. Still, there are additional benefits gained from such a trip. I will happily go out of my way to enjoy good customer service and in this often dishonest field of auto-mechanics, I will certainly drive out of my way to reward a shop who gives me a fair price and proves to be trustworthy.
