Forgive me if I sound judgemental of your shop, but I would have done the job for 2 grand.

Uh Oh, a negative reply about services, something that is being discussed on another thread.

[Tom Hall 7485]

No, Johnny, there is no negative comment about any particular vendor here.  The vendor(s) who
did the $6k worth of work on this car is/are not mentioned by name, and there is no complaint
about that vendor or vendors.  There is merely Mr. Morris's statement that he would have done
the same work for less money. 

[John Morris #23947]

I meant the labor.

Yes that is very true, and granted I was "painting with a broad brush" about "negative posts"  I just don't think the OP wanted to hear from someone that the work could bave been much cheaper.

I agree. and thats even making a small profit on labor. You could buy a whole 2nd car in nice driving condition for that cost too.

Also, not making judgment on anybody or anything, just making an observation. I thinks it's because a lot of us do our own repairs where possable so just sounds high. Just so long as you liked the quality of service and you got what you wanted. It is hard to find experienced shops who will treat our old Cadilacs with the respect they deserve. But let's face it, for a regular shop, it is a set back as waiting for parts means taking up space and time, so thats where you pay.
