^ this book rate issue really ticks me off. Who wrote this book...smurfs?
I could see Papa Smurf taking 30 minutes to change an O2 sensor, you know since he only has three digits per hand. But an eperienced, certified mechanic?
And it's not like you have a choice to not pay the book rate either.
INdependent shop near really aren't all that much cheaper than the local dealer and they refuse to install parts you provide. One guy wanted to charge me about 5X's per spark plug vs. what I found on Pap-parts or autohauz.
I mean c'mon I can see a marginal mark up but not enough to buy the product several times over.
