Read the following conversation and answer the question. Mechanic: What can we do for you today? Car Owner: Uh, hi. Yes, I'm having a problem with my car, and it doesn't seem to run right. I mean every time I start it up, the engine runs for a minute or so, sputters like it isn't getting enough gas, and then dies. Mechanic: Hmmm. Okay. Let's open the hood, and let's take a look... Okay, start her up. [Engine starting...] Okay, Okay. Shut her off. Hmmm. [So...] Let me look at the book here... [It] sounds like a possible fuel line, a dirty carburetor, bad alternator, or even a weak battery. Car Owner: So, which one is it? Mechanic: Uhh. Difficult to say. Let me try this... Uh, alright... You need to talk to the mechanic. Car Owner: The mechanic! So, who are you? Mechanic: Well, I'm the assistant, and I've only been here on the job for two days. Car Owner: So, why didn't you tell me that in the first place? I mean, I wouldn't have wasted all this time! Mechanic: You didn't ask. Car Owner: Okay, so how much is it going to cost? Mechanic: Ah. Difficult to say. [That's what you said about the last thing!] Are you a local or from out of town? Car Owner: I'm just passing through, and this is the only place for miles. [Yeah, that's right.] Man, can't you see my license plate? [Sure did!] Mechanic: Okay. The out-of-town rate. Let's see. Okay, here we go. If it's a fuel line, that'll be $100... No, no, That's the local rate. Here, $200 for the pre-screening check, $150 for parts, plus or minus $100, and $75 an hour for labor. Oh, oh yeah. Today's a holiday, so labor is actually $50 more per hour. Car Owner: Huh? Those prices are outrageous, and what holiday is it today? Mechanic: Oh, it's the local pumpkin festival. Car Owner: Ah, come on. I can't believe this. Of all my luck, my car breaks down in an out-of-the-way town [That's right.], and it'll cost an arm and a leg to get my car fixed. Mechanic: Ah, we'll take care of you. Just bring the car back on Tuesday so Mike, our mechanic, can take a look at it. Car Owner: Why not today? It's only 11:00... Question: Why will it be so expensive for the man to get his car fixed? - His car will require extensive repairs that will take a lot of time. - Special custom-made parts must be ordered from out of town. - He must pay higher fees because he isn't a resident of that area.
