Re: Engine fans won't come on, charging system repaired.

if it ain't a fuse, they ain't gonna guess it!

If it is a fuse, by the time you pay the big bucks to take it home, chances are you will never know what the problem really was!

Did anyone ever hear of a "small repair bill" at a dealer??

Good luck.

Re: Engine fans won't come on, charging system repaired.

My repair bills are pretty small compared to some dealerships. I only pay $35/hr.

here they are 100.00 and charge by the "book" labor rate. Translation... a job that could be completed in an hour goes for 3 hours labor- $300.00.

I am able to avoid that totally because I can do everything myself.

At my old shop in Tahoe, we ran $85 hour.... to do stuff a caveman could do in most cases. Thats why im glad my first car was a POS, it sucked then... but its saved me many times more in labor costs since.
