I have been a service tech for over forty years. I agree that some shops do charge more than they should for parts and labor. I have seen the parts books and the price you pay and what the company pays. It is outrages what some of thee mark ups are.
There is a major generator company that charges 165.00 dollars for a single push rod.Nothing special about it. I know another OEM that charges 140.00 dollars for a fuel filter assembly. Because they claim you can't buy just the filter. Did some looking and found a filter for 11.95. So someone explain that kind of mark up.
Also know that I don't like what I am seeing in some of today's service techs. They only know to do what the computer tells them to do. Have little or no knowledge on how to do it them selves.
Maybe James just didn't feel like doing the oil change. I just did a full service on a 9450 Kubota. I would have prefered to be some where else.
