Craigslist Fun - mechanical mannerisms

Its been a while.  I ran across this today. It's nothing special, but I figured I would share.  The creative use of punctuation and grammar make it a little tough to read; however, I can honestly say that I would trust this guy to fix my car more than I would trust my local Chevy dealer who recently tried to charge me $1,600 for a repair that wasn't really necessary (I now hate repair shops almost as much as I hate realtors).

Before quoting the ad I have two quick questions: 1) does the 30 day guarantee only apply to leaking seals? and 2) how does one trade "mechanical knowledge" for "mannerisms?"  Anyway, here we go:

Automotive Repair - $1 (buffalo and surrounding areas)

Is your vehicle broke down ? Is a shop too costly ? Well look no further. I have been to trade school for auto as well as over 10 yrs personal experience , i can repair atv's-motorcycles/scooters-cars-trucks-lawn mowers-weed eaters-chain saws-boats and more ... I have references for my skill , and i back up my work . i give a 30 day labor guarantee , meaning if i replace a part that has a seal or something on it and it begins to leak i will replace it at my cost within the 30 days . Contact me with what you have and i will get back to you in a timely manner with a quote . Not all work has to be on a cash basis , willing to trade my mechanical knowledge for goods like cars,motorcycles,trucks,boats, services things of that mannerism.
