i just got ripped

i work at a ford dealership and when a customer drops a car off for service, they approve a limit to be spent and sign for that limit if it goes that high, but they reciever a writen quote of what the expected repairs are going to be, and if they are going to be more, the work will not be completled untill service rep calls customer and verifies that its okay to spend more money to have the vehicle fix for however many more flat rate hours. the tech is requesting..motorsports dealers are the same way....there quotes have to be ina certain range and without customer consenting to additional charges its illegal. usually you sign a piece of paper when dropping it off stating what there "spending limit" is i guess would be the best word for it. i know at ford Dealer, anytime customer drops car off with problem, they have to sign off for the 1st hour of diagnostic labor at 84$ just to have it looked at, then rep calls customer requesting more time for the actual repairs
 
i told em a 290 would do just fine but they never listen... they probabaly did just fine it just worries me. im gonna go talk to the owner and tell him he quoted me 30 bucks and charged me 200

You could have just did it your self here you have stated it your self......
You got Owned.
 
At Caterpillar, we are the same way. We have a bare minimum call out time of two hours at $105$ each. If I fix it in one minute or condemn the machine, it still cot $210.
 
If they didnt make any mistake when they told you the final price your gonna end up paying for it why? Cuz first the price they quoted must have only been on parts( although its still a high price for only parts) You then have to add labor. They usually charge 50-60 bucks an hour for labor. And if you know anything jetting doesnt happen in less than 2 hours. You have to test alot to get it perfect. Meaning that if he was close to lucky and got it perfect in 2 hours thats 120 bucks already. add the other 40 bucks and its 160 bucks. And well keep adding variables and what not and yall should figure it out yourself.

That is why you NEVER take a bike to a shop for something simple and unexpensive.
 
yea they got u for labor cuz around here shops charge like 50-60 dollars an hour for labor 3 hours or so of testin it n changin it will get u in the ass hole harrd
 
well i hope this is convincing to u and other ppl to learn how to jet. its very easy. it may be a little timely but i still wouldnt pay 30 dollars for it let alone 200. glad u got off pretty light. does it run right atleast?
