That is a good question are they being fair, I ended up having the car fixed they said "I was getting a break on the labor" 638.00 on the bill
The break stems from I bought a new 9-3, and I asked specifically and they said "they would cut me a deal on the repair" well I don't see a deal hear at all..
I went out and got a good used ignition cassette, and a used head 80k or so on it, so no work was done to the replacement head, perhaps I should have had them grind and valves and replace the seals, but that is an afterthought,
So I come up with 8.5 hours with a reduction of 3.5 as no work basically was done to the replacement head, and I added an hour for initial diagnostic and testing of the original problem,
the car would not re-start after just going dead, so they tested compression and decided it must be a blown head gasket, that is when they came back and said head is off .021 at center,,
Believe it or not, I was just out driving with my 98 year old grandmother on a Sunday afternoon of all things, when the car just died, driving in town around 25 mph, with no indication of overheating.
I will go have the old head checked now at a machine shop thank you Aero guy for the suggestion.. jeffrey
