Particle/Kelly,

Thanks for responses. You may be amused to hear that my, ummmm, curiosity was raised by a $4.50 charge for a 30 amp fuse. Even I knew that was obscene. The final breakdown was 1250 labor, 1800 parts.

I'm going to do some more research on parts, looking at pelican I know the parts were on the high end, but it's unlikely a garage is going to order parts online. My curiosity is whether and how much the shop adds to their actual cost for parts.

My guess is the garage used the standard dealer shop manual allowance for labor charges. Doesn't matter how much actual time it took, but what the manual allows.

They did do a few more things than just the 90 k service and brakes but I think that 1200 for labor was a bit high. Bottom line is that I love my box, gonna install my Skybreaker next week (thanks again Fred), and maybe have a chat with the owner of the shop. Might also look around for an alternative although they are good, just pricey.

Larry
