Price is usually between $20 and $30 bucks nowadays. I learned the hard way after being shafted $300 for a 15 min. visit and a $15 part swap. When I discovered the cost of the real cost of the capacity I was livid. This was back in the late 1990's. God forbid what they charge nowadays for such a simple job. Yes they are all crooks. I have to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're paying for someone to either get the part or tie up his money stocking the part. You're paying for his time. You're paying for the use of his vehicle. You're paying the person who does his bookeeping. You're paying for him to have a license. Most of all you're paying for his knowledge. If you're not smart enough to do it yourself or don't have the time this is where you're at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
