A customer in Dallas said my shop's repair estimate was 'honest' and it threw me off

I quoted him $85 for a full drivetrain clean and new chain, and he said most shops would have tried to sell him a whole new groupset. It made me realize how many people expect to be upsold on unnecessary work. Do you think that expectation hurts the trade's reputation?

Was I the only one who thought that was normal?

Normal? That's a genuinely scary thing to consider normal. The bar is in the basement if that's the standard now. We have to expect better from people.

That Dallas guy just proved how low the bar is.
