I had a similar experience with a Midas shop in Eatontown, N.J.
The muffler was bad but they wanted to replace the whole
exhaust pipe. They argued that the exhaust pipe was so rusty
that they couldn't remove the muffler without damaging the
pipe. Upon inspection the exhaust pipe when my car was up on
the lift, I insisted that only the muffler be replaced. They
finally installed the muffler after giving all these bulls**t about
my having to install a new pipe very soon. Well, it has been a
year and the exhaust pipe is doing ok. I guess it's the Midas
touch! Everything they touch turns into dollars out of your
pocket.
