JD Seller said: (quoted from post at 06:05:25 06/18/10) I have been the service manager at two different John Deere stores, in the last twenty years. I see the people here complaining about how much a dealership charges. Most dealers make all of the profit in the service department on the parts sold through it. The labor makes very little profit when all of the costs are figured in. That labor charge has to pay all of the following: wages, health insurance, retirement, vacation time, sick leave, electric, water, heat, building maintenance, service tools. SO PAY for all of that and see what you make.
As for the dealer marking up the machining work 100%. I bet that you where paid as soon as you gave him the bill. The farmer might have paid it in thirty days.
We have been living for a long time in a age in which you can no longer be successful in repairing a vehicle with out access to the electronic controls and information...
by now it should be obvious that Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison could not diagnosis these vehicle with out the proper tools are info...
You can not base a simple oil change again what the charge is to repair other systems,,, its hard to break down a A,B, are C job,,, A C tech can not do what a A tech can,,, a B mite be able to,,, I am sure most understand what it takes to reach top level pay,,,, I am sure you will not take less just because the tast is ratted at a C tech level,,,A techs will not work for C tech pay,,, if you are happy with a C tech then stay with him,,, if you are lucky sooner are later he will move up to a B,,, if not then he will get a job driving a truck and the search will B on again....

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
