That's what one of those "103 point inspections" gets you at most
rip-off mechanics. If it doesn't involve a $100+ repair, they don't
really check. And more times than not, they'll come up with multiple
$100+ repairs which really aren't needed.

OTOH, one could probably find a shop which would charge $25 per bulb,
then they'd be at $125.

Just another reason people should learn to do at least the simple stuff
themselves.
