I just cannot believe that is the price they are getting for that kind of repair.

Jmen;

No problem, I didn't think you were calling me out.

It's very hard to find competent auto mechanic work these days. The dealerships just want to sell you new cars and the prices they charge for simple service work such as brakes and even oil changes are just ridiculous! Many local shops don't even have the equipment to properly repair many of today's computer related issues.

The good news is newer vehicles certainly last longer these days. We are getting close to 300,000 miles life expectancy on most of our (Chevy) gas vans and P.U. trucks.

Sorry to stray off topic...
