I paid 350 bucks to replace turbo studs because it was trying to fall off, on an old E model Cat, that's an hour job that shouldn't cost 350 ####in dollars.

Hypothetical scenario: If it were an unfortunate situation where the stud was broken off flush with the manifold and the mechanic had to drill and extract the stud, the shop should have to eat that cost? Its not the shop's fault it broke.
This is why I stick mainly to heavy equipment repairs and larger companies. Truck drivers whine and complain too much.Another Canadian driver, Badmon, p608 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Here’s the lesson of the day for everyone so pay attention, or I’ll bite your collective necks all the way through! Well, maybe not that, but this is good stuff so....
Do you know why house cleaners and yard mowing outfits can’t charge much for their services? Because people won’t pay very much for a service they can perform easily themselves. “It has to be cheap or I’ll do myself” is the attitude.
Example, we pay our house cleaner $75.00 and she’s at our house for a good 3-3.5 hours and she brings her own supplies and mop and vacuum, etc... Hell, I save enough in cleaning supplies cost alone to pay a good 25% of her pay. 3.5 hours of our time is worth more than that.
On the other side of the coin, call an electrician to wire up your storage shed. They’ll charge you $75.00 for the service call alone before doing anything. You’ll end up paying hundred time the job is done. Why do people pay? Because they can’t do it themselves so it’s either pay or it doesn’t get done.
The moral here? If you wanna be an O/O, you better learn how to work on crap yourself, or you better start squirreling away a hell of an escrow for maintenance and repairs.Last edited: Jun 5, 2021
