Don't know how much economic inflation is going to impact the election but I have a doozy...pure greedflation as far as I am concerned. I needed to change the sensor lights on my garage door. Called "garage door company...local and family owned". $329 to replace sensor lights and brackets. I said no thanks. Went to Home Depot! Package of sensor lights for my brand gagage door incl. brackets $39.95. Called by handyman who installed them for $60. $99.95 total cost and "expert" wanted $329...and their guy admitted it would only take 30 mins. That is greedflation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a similar thing with the latch to the trunk of my car. It was jammed so I couldn't close the trunk. A Honda dealer quoted $900, but I ordered the part off Amazon for $20, and even doing this in a wheelchair, I had the part installed in under 30 minutes, and it works like new.
I also lost the only key I had with me for the Honda, and the dealership wanted $435, but a local locksmith was out in 45 minutes and charged $160. Great young guy who I've already recommended 3 times.
Don't think that is the case. People in my condo complex have used this company in the past and were totally satisfied. Their work was good and their prices reasonable. It seems like they have jumped on the inflation bandwagon more than anything else.

Could also have just been that the family business are scammers?
