soooooooooooo, the mechanic I've been going to for 5 yrs. wants to charge $180.00 for oil change and valve adjustment. Does this seem reasonable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Oh, 71 stock 914 1.7...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Oh, 71 stock 914 1.7... At the end of my shop ownership, I charged an hour for a 3K service ($120/hr). Oil, drop and clean the screen, valves and gaskets if needed, look the car over, check the dwell, lube the doors and other latches, check the CV joint boots and bolts, inspect the brakes, what have you. Add the parts and you're pretty close to $180. The Cap'n |
