So, the fair install and pricing would probably be some where in the $85-90. The "I'm not the average consumer" is played out really often in shops and it gets pretty old. Most recent, shimming valves. After 1-2hrs of helping the individuals working on the project to understand the concept, talk them through the steps, get them the right shims and free exchange...we are doing the work for them because they screwed it up. Should we charge them for the time on the phone and in person when they were not the average consumer? We dont, we havent, and probably wont. Is that fair to us? they might be able to do some of their own work some day, but a majority will not be able to do it because most people cant change a tire or check their fluids. Is this right? I dont think so but it is reality.
