QUOTE(tod914 @ May 28 2004, 05:50 PM) how long does it take a competant shop to drop a motor?? A competent shop wont charge you actual time to R&R the engine, they will charge you book time. However long it says in the book is what they should be charging. Otherwise, they may not stay in business that long if the mechanic is really good and knows his stuff. What you are paying for is his knowledge. Like me, when I go in to fix a companies computer systems or network or router, they are paying for my knowledge. If I go in and it only takes me ten minutes, and I only bill them for an hour, its fair to them but I wont make much money. Oh wait, so thats what I have been doing wrong. Shit, I need to restructure my pricing. |
