I hadn't planned on buying it that day but everything I bought I'd already decided I was going to buy eventually, so I walked around and picked it out, nobody "sold" it to me. Do you have a funnel? Do you have a decent-sized screwdriver? Do you have decent wiper blades? Well, I didn't. And the "couple other things that I prolly didn't need" was an air freshener and something else that I can't even remember now, but less than $10 for both. In fact, I asked the guy for something to test my fuses with and he said I didn't really need one, and showed me how to just look at them and tell if they were blown. He's my new bff so you leave him alone, lol.

They WANTED to sell me a new MAF sensor but I'd already researched it and said "no, thank you, I'll try cleaning it first before I fork out $150 for a new one".
LOL Girl Ofcourse I have all that crap I'M A GUY aswell as a mechanic and I also have most of if not all the other things you mention. Although after rereading I can see where you needed shop rags and ramps that makes sense but yeah Don't let them Tell you, you need this and you Need that cause they are just trying to make a sale lol ANYway glad you got it fixed
