I do hope you get my drift on this?

It gets tiresome to hear all the rip off accusations of repair shops and then a bunch chiming in behind. They are complaining that the shop have the audacity to charge more for parts than they can buy them online and that they charge more hours than someone on the internet claims is the time it takes to do the job.
And when you ask for an itemized invoice that could shed some light on it many posters clam up and you don't really know what was sold or done or said.
Right here on this one is a few question marks that should be addressed.
They did a 90K service and then the complaint is expensive spark plug change but an ok oil change charge.
In my book and how I do it, the 90K service is a major service including both spark plugs (maybe), oil change and many more things and it comes up to about $550.00. I say spark plugs maybe because if they were properly replaced at 60K with PFR6H-10 they go to 120K but if I find BCPR6ES in there they get replaced with the PFR unless customer wants the copper ones.
Yes, it might only be 1% of the worlds population suited for being a doctor but it sure is some slipping through the cracks anyway and becoming doctors to superstars.
No, it is not a health insurance problem for me. I'm never sick to the point having to use doctors since I opened my own shop and this problem is one of those that gets complicated with most insurances so I don't even bother asking them for help. We are on an HMO plan through my wife's work and yes I would not use HMO if I had to pay for it myself since I'm never sick. HMO is more for the professionally sick people that needs to go many times a year for one thing after the other.
Last time I did the sleep study I was on a PPO plan where you pay everything up to $5000.00 or so a year anyway. With those you have a greater choice of health care to pick from.
