Ye your right, compared to some of the robbing c**ts he's still cheap but when I first went to him he charged peanuts. To be honest I'd pay double what he charges, he knows his stuff and will always try his best to get the best possible outcome from a working dogs point of view.
I've noticed he always seems to ask what work I've got on before he tells me what the bill is? Maybe I should hit him with a sob story next time
