Book rate = 3.5 hours. Actual may have been far, far less time although you committed to paying the book rate with the estimate so they nailed you for it.
Typical stealership way of ripping off customers.
LB - you are right... for a competent and confident wrench turner like yourself, it was probably a 1 out of 10. For someone who's never taken stuff apart on their Porsche, including swapping spark plugs, the number is higher. My plugs took me 2.5 hours when others say they knock it out in 45 minutes.
I have discovered though that with each project I tackle, the numbers go down and the more cocky I become. I guess that's a good thing.
I sure wish our cars were more sturdy. Lots of bits seem to fall apart prematurely compared to Japanese makes.
