    Plus the labor for approved repairs is flat rated and you can’t possibly do the repairs in that time

    I may end up trying them in the future then as I go through there on a regular bases. So far I have been putting these issues off because I did not want to let my trailer sit for a week plus to get it done.
     
    Rideandrepair, Oxbow and ducnut Thank this.

    I figure this is why a lot of trailer shops suck under warranty. They do everything they can not to deal with you it seems like.

    Are new paccars much better? When I talked to my Pete dealer about a 567 a few weeks ago they said they only had paccar slots left so I kind of lost interest,

    Seems to be a lot more Trucks on the Dealers lots lately. Truck paper magazine has a lot of independent ads. Some of the old Trucks are still crazy high priced. Makes me wonder if they’re just being hopeful. I can’t imagine someone paying so much for a 24+ yr old Truck. 2000 379 for $80k. Maybe they can still get it? I don’t know anymore. The amount of Truck capacity has grown so much. Every Truck I’ve owned depreciated 50% in 4 yrs. 75% in 8 yrs. My current Trucks worth 66% more than I paid 14 yrs ago. None of it makes sense. Everything’s just way out of whack.
     
    Siinman and Cat sdp Thank this.
