With anything in life, you have two choices: you can dwell on it or you can move on.
If you dwell on the bad things, you will be pretty miserable. YOU make yourself angry (no one else controls your emotions except you). YOU are the one that controls what you think about. Choose to dwell on the good things rather than the bad. Yeah, you paid $124 for a fan belt but now your car/truck works and you can go places; it is done and now you don't have to worry about how to get it done, where to get it done, when to get it done, etc. Move on.
If you dwell on the good things, you will be a happy person.
Every single thing that happens to you in life is a learning experience. It is up to you to choose what you take away from it. Resolve not to make phone calls without knowing the charges first and to ask for estimates when having work done on your vehicle. Then move on. You can't change the events, only how you react to them.
