I agree with most of you.I know that there are a lot of cost associated with having a business.I had one.But if you work on a car for 20 minutes or 30 and you charge that customer 1h30 that is dishonest.When I had a business, time done was time paid.Why does a different garage charge so much less with the same cost?Maybe they are honest.Honesty will get you more business and people will respect and encourage you.I have never felt this way with 45 years of owning cars.Maybe my gut feelings are right.I dealt with Champion Porsche before I moved and the prices seemed fair and reasonable for a dealer.Thank you all for the input
