i just left the stealer from dropping off the wifes X to get the cps replaced and while i was there the service tech asked if there was anything else i needed done and i mentioned that i thought i had tie rod gone bad and she said they'd take a look ...to the tune of $95(thats the going shop labor rate, no wonder theyre going under) .. i told no thanks that i could get it checked out down the street for free... she said she could list it as a saftey concern and it would be included in the "free" saftey inspection.... i asked if i wanted to get it fixed what the labor rate would be and she said $95/hour... thats what our diesel mechanics get... she didnt understand why i laughed at her .. then got an attitude when i asked what the difference was between a gas and diesel 250/350 suspension.... like i would acctually spend $30/hour more just cause i had a diesel underhood
