Another Great Dealer Experience

Yep, I did that too working for the Oldsmobile Dealership when I was a kid.

Thank God for the flat rate book! It gave me a standard of living my degreed friends could rarely match!

The work can be done in 45 minutes by a competent mechanic, so the flat rate of 1.8 hours is fair. But charging customer 3 hours labor is fair ?

All the repairs/maintenance for my cars was done at independent mechanic, IIRC the cost of replacing water pump in my LS400 along with timing belt and the fan belt was less than $400. Never had my cars at dealer except warranty works.
