I am one of those "mechanically interested friends" you speak of. Our rather, I used to be.
I stopped doing favors when people started expecting me to do a brake job for a six pack of Dr Pepper.
One should not expect a skilled, competent mechanic to turn out quality work for golf caddie wages. You get what you pay for.
