Mechanic: (smiles to tells these folks) Hmmm.. These are typical problems
which I am very familiar with. I see you are facing the same
problem. Just changing tire is not good enough. Your
electronic control system is interfaring with radio system and
killing other parts. This needs to be fixed now and only the
specialist can do this. Just leave your cars here. Otherwise
this may break other things. I will give you good deal. I
will do these in $5000. If you take this to the dealer shop,
they will charge $7000 + labor. No problem. Oh, I can check
tire balance and chang fuse of radio too. These are good
preventive measures. I can do these only for $200 extra if
you ask me now.
And these 2 guys get ripped off :)

Oh, you are too honest to do this.
