@woodsman:
That's the labor rate for an independent. It's about the going rate where I live. What most important to me is that I trust the shop. It's not worth it to me to find another that I don't know where I might save $10-15 bucks per hour. A couple of years ago, I got burned for about $4K by going to a another independent with a 'great' reputation.
@RandallNeighbour:
Goo suggestion. I completely forgot to ask for an undersized pulley because I got fixated on whether the impellers had disintegrated and the potential cost of trying to find all the pieces in the engine.
