Dunno if this is the right place but dayum... went to smog the tahoe today and technician found a coolant leak. Kudos to him and hooking me up with a gal of coolant but, again, datum.

I think i did this before and it was like a fifteen dollar part.

Kinda depends on what part of the country you are in. Also, I would want to know the manufacturer of the parts and the labor rate and book time they are saying it takes to do. Did you ask for a breakdown of all that?

The dealer shop rate on the Cayenne I sold was $250/hr. I sold the car once I started running up against things I could not do myself.

Was that shop rate in Vegas. Highest I have seen around here, Eugene, Or., is $190 at independent shops and $210 at dealers.

I recently had a well off American Legion friend of mine ask what a 2 bay shop would cosr ro set up. I told him that first you gotta find the bays, allow for buy or rent, utilities, insurance, lifts, equipment and licenses...
$400k. He about crapped his pants. Let alone the personal tool investment.
