So, what's it really like at Ray's garage?

We asked Ray's student intern, Libby, to take note and snap photos during her recent stint at the garage.

We'll share her story with you, now -- if you promise not to email her findings to the Attorney General, Better Business Bureau or the Witness Protection Program.

How does Ray meet his boat payments at the expense of countless Volvo, Subaru, Ford and Chevy owners? Is it really possible to turn an oil change into a transmission rebuild?

Answers to these and other questions, are right this way.
