That's one reason we have payday lenders. I worked one summer in a filling station. (for those younger readers, we actually use to have places where you both bought gas and had your car worked on). There was more than one car that sat in the back for a week or so until the owner scrapped enough money together to pay for the repair.

I really like the people who think my 40+ years of experience at jewelry repair should cost them the same as the jeweler down the street with one year training. And of course having to fix something that has been butchered ends up costing them more. Cheapest may save you money up front, but it can cost you a lot more in the long run.
