Please tell me I'm wrong. I mean it's moot point complaining as I am not going back anyway.

$10 Charge to me for just paperwork?
- Thread starter Thermo1223

Well that's not the whole RO
It is another ridiculous charge that is added on to the already extremely high bill. I would be looking for a different shop.
Doesn't seem out of line for servicing the transfer case and mounting and balancing 2 large tires. The latter alone would be close to $100 at an indy shop. Need a break down of the estimate. You think service writers should work for free?
The OP is talking about the $10 repair order
That's the declined work.
I mean it looks like you're whining about $10 in shop charges on a $340 bill.
Did you ask for the charge to be removed?

I thought the OP is complaining about the cost of those things and being charged $10 for the estimate.
When my elderly mother used to bring her car in for an oil change, she would bend the service writer's ear for 15 minutes with a lot of irrelevant information and concerns. She probably deserved a $20 service writer charge.
Naw. He expected the estimate to be $0.
Didn't notice it till way after I was gone. This is the second page, didn't think anyone would care about the oil change & brake flush.
Fixed to avoid the confusion I caused.
I think that may be the shop charge for consumables used by the shop eg shop rags, brake cleaner etc on that RO. It is usually listed a different way but I don't see it on the RO.
He said nothing about anything other than the $10 paperwork fee. It's the title of this thread:
"$10 Charge to me for just paperwork?"
I do think it's a misunderstanding. The line item says "Customer pay shop charge for repair order" and as Trav says, I think "shop charges" are for rags, cleaners, etc.
That's fair actually, I didn't even think of that. It just screamed a "we printed this out for you" fee.
Yeah, looks like 5% of the total labor costs for shop fees/consumables. Standard surcharge these days I think (hidden charge) no way around it I think other than to ask in the future and build it into your pricing decisions
This is what I was thinking. It's not a charge to write the RO, but the shop charge for misc consumables used by the shop.
At least that's my take on it.
Aren't "shop charges" normal???
