Doc Hale — Hale's Bench

Honesty is the service. The wrench is extra. People drive across the city so Hale can say no. He will look at a car you are about to regret and cost himself the job. That is the hitter test for fixers: do they talk you out of it. Yelp is almost funny — a pile of reviews grateful he refused the work. Reddit treats him like infrastructure. There is no clip, because a man telling you the truth does not thumbnail.
