If I've got to spend a bunch of cash, I'd rather just buy the tools and parts I'll need to do the sucker my own damn self, meanwhile learning how to do some car repair. I'm not really a gearhead/greasemonkey, but I AM very mechanically inclined and good at repairing machines, taking them apart / putting back together, etc.

Ask your mechanic if his time estimate is including going home to sleep for his 8-hour beauty rest while he's charging you for the extra 3 hours, then go look for a REAL mechanic.
Sounds like he's just wanting a crap-load of your hard-earned cash while he's on a whole pack worth of cigarette breaks.
