I am probably a bit late asking this question but it is about questionable mechanics.
My daughter recently found a thermostat coolant leak in her 2006 VZ Commodore. Her mechanic quoted $1200 to do do the job. As she needed the car on a daily basis, she got him to do the job. From what I can see, the job should take no more than 5 hours for any competent mechanic. $1200??
Question:- am I wrong or has my girl been robbed?
text size is so I can read it. 73 year old eyeballs
gasket + seals no more than $50? Around $1000+ for labour? $200 per hour?Hmmm.
commodore665, job is done so further quotes only aggravate me and my girl.
