Creative Bartering

We have a pal who is having trouble with her car. She knows a fellow who makes cabinets and will also work on her car. He will possibly buy it from her, in exchange for making her new kitchen cabinets. She says by bartering like this, it's going to save her from having to search for a reputable garage, all the parts and details of the car repair. All she's got to do is pick out her choice of nice cabinets for her home.
