away with this. They look or talk to you for 15 min and charge the insurance company for 1 hour. AND EVERYONE is fine with that.
Everyone agree that they have the fancy machine that goes "ping" and a nice office so they must charge more.
But we "grease monkeys" have no right to charge for faulttracing.
The shop stretched it too far in your case and he also lost you as a customer.
But very rarely do we have a customer coming in telling us to replace the sparkplugs (period).No question asked.
Most of the time a customer have a problem they want to get fixed, and have heard from friend of a friend that it might be the plugs.
If we would to throw the plugs in and charge 15 min and send him on the way and the "problem" is still there, he would come back pissed off saying that we didn't fix the problem.
And than we would ask him "what problem" and he would say, the misfire/bucking problem,
and then we would say, but you didn't say anything about a problem, we just threw some new plugs in and sent you on the way.
And than he would be pissed off saying, aren't you testdriving the cars after you "fixed" them.
And we say no. Not for 15 min charge.
And then we would loose him as a customer.
