Agreed. What takes me 12 hours or more, with hand tools, and considerable
extension of vocabulary, takes Jack about 60 minutes. It's unfair, really!
He doesn't even charge a whole lot.
One time I got lazy and used the corner gas station instead of Jack. They
charged me $200 (WAY more than Jack), and despite my telling them not to,
used a pnuematic gun on the Koni's, resulting in shock failure shortly
afterwards. Since this is the second time I had a less than stellar result
with this garage, I only go there when I want a repeat visit to fix
something else.
Keep the faith, and be safe.
Regards,
Rob
