I was wondering what 'the rest of the story' was. Your last post confirmed it... he brought his parts to the shop and expected them installed thus depriving the shop the chance to make any money on those parts... so he got quoted a labor rate commensurate with the shop making money... or he could go elsewhere.
I also get a chuckle out of some of the other posts remarking about the stealerships charging too much... then on the other hand complaning about the cost of running a private shop... Mabey when someone gets half a mil... or 5 mil tied up in overhead they understand why things cost so much. It's not all that different than the people that run around here selling hay for a buck a bale off the field, then can't pay their fricken bills so they go work another job to pay for their farming habit, finance their equipment, etc... and still don't pay their bills. Meanwhile anyone who tries to work in a sustainable manner and charges a legitimate viable rate for what they do is labeled a theif.
