How many brake hoses does a car have?
The mechanic told me that I needed to have my brake hose replaced and gave me a quote of $150. I picked my car up today, and the bill was for a little over $600! They said that $150 was the cost per hose. How many brake hoses does a car have?

Look on the bright side: Brake lines are essential, so at least you have that part of your
